KARI Foundation brought corporate partners and supporters together at MCA, The Rocks, Sydney, on 12 November 2026 for its NSW Corporate Partner Lunch, recognising the people and organisations that have contributed to KARI’s work throughout the year.
The end-of-year celebration was an opportunity to say thank you for the many ways partners support KARI, including financial contributions, in-kind support and the time individuals give. It also provided a chance to reflect on the year’s achievements and look ahead to upcoming programs across KARI Foundation and KARI Limited.
A series of videos showcased KARI programs and highlighted corporate partnership successes from the year. These presentations gave guests a closer look at the work their contributions support and brought examples of partnership into the room.
The lunch also recognised six organisations and individuals through the presentation of awards. Each recipient received a glass award acknowledging their contribution to KARI.
