On Track Foundation Inc.

Overview
On Track Foundation Inc. (ABN 55150807945RR0001) is an Australian nonprofit organisation focused on supporting disadvantaged individuals through community aid and education initiatives. Operating via its frontline service, The Soup Bus, the foundation provides essential resources such as food and clothing to those in need during evening hours[2][3].

Mission and Activities
The foundation’s primary mission is to address socioeconomic challenges by offering direct aid and educational opportunities. Key programs include:

• The Soup Bus: A mobile service distributing meals, clothing, and supplies after dark to vulnerable populations, including the homeless and low-income individuals[2][3].
• Education Scholarships: Financial support for disadvantaged youth to attend accredited Australian educational institutions. Two annual funding rounds occur in March/April and September/October[1].

Governance and Funding
On Track Foundation operates under a volunteer-led governance model, with a board of directors receiving no financial compensation. This structure ensures that 100% of donations directly fund programs[3]. While charitable status is confirmed via the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), tax deductibility of donations depends on the donor’s eligibility under ABN-linked guidelines[4].

Collaborations and Impact
The foundation collaborates with educational institutions and community partners to expand access to resources. Its scholarship program has enabled underprivileged students to pursue vocational and academic courses, while The Soup Bus addresses immediate needs for stability and dignity[1][2].
