Endeavour Foundation

Endeavour Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation, headquartered in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is Australia's largest employer of people with an intellectual disability. The organisation was founded in 1951 by a group of parents advocating for education and support for their children with intellectual disability. It was formally established on December 31, 1952. It now supports thousands of people with disabilities across hundreds of locations in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria.

Its primary services are designed to support people with disability in their home, work, and community life, offering supported accommodation, learning and lifestyle programs, and community participation.

As a significant social enterprise, Endeavour Foundation is also Australia's largest employer of people with intellectual disability through its network of supported workplaces (Australian Disability Enterprises).

The organisation's operations are funded through a hybrid model that combines government funding (including the National Disability Insurance Scheme, NDIS), with revenue from its commercial enterprises, major fundraising activities, and the Endeavour Foundation Lotteries.

Endeavour Foundation is an active participant in public policy discussions, engaging in advocacy related to the NDIS and publicly welcoming the Disability Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability.
