At Hyundai Help for Kids, we're creating brighter tomorrows for kids today. That's why since 2014, a portion of every Hyundai sold* goes directly towards our Hyundai Help for Kids program. A program dedicated to supporting a range of not-for-profit organisations making a difference for kids in need.

Hyundai Help for Kids is an initiative of Hyundai and Hyundai Dealers that lends a helping hand to young Australians and their families. By supporting a range of not-for-profit organisations, Hyundai provides critical support across areas of Community, Medical & Vehicle assistance.
Every time a new* Hyundai is sold, customers, along with Hyundai and its dealers, are giving a valuable contribution to children who need it most.
From transfers to and from specialist treatment, to airport pick-ups and event transfers, we offer our partners free access to our vehicles to support their essential services.
From money can't buy experiences to marketing support, we bring help to partners in other ways too. Committed to bringing awareness to a wide variety of important causes.
Children are at the heart of everything we do. Our vital funding to grant recipients has reached over 100,000 children from respite care and cancer research to education and family support since 2014.
The families of our partners all over Australia can’t thank you enough for the funds that you have helped raise. Your contribution means that Hyundai Help for Kids can continue to provide our partners with essential services and create brighter tomorrows for kids in need.

Hyundai Dealers are franchise operations – they are not owned by Hyundai Motor Company Australia, but by separate independent companies. So it’s important to recognise each dealer’s contribution to this program.

A CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) committee has been established to manage the Hyundai Help for Kids program.

The CSR committee will determine if any additional organisations are to be added to the official Hyundai Help for Kids recipient list, using a quantitative evaluation tool developed for this program.
The decisions of the committee in relation to all grant applications are binding.
The fund will be operated by Hyundai Motor Company Australia.
Hyundai’s Australian philanthropic enterprise will offer financial grants to a range of organisations focused on delivering support to Australian youth and the families who support them.
There will be three main areas of focus for approved and selected grant recipients:
It is a joint 50:50 partnership between the National Hyundai Dealer Network and Hyundai Motor Company Australia, with funds raised via a joint contribution from each new Hyundai vehicle sold in Australia*
This contribution is then used to support and fund various approved organisations and their programs.
The Hyundai Help for Kids program will grow organically and we have not set any pre-determined targets for funding.
Based on yearly Hyundai Motor Company Australia sales, our expectation is that we will be able to make contributions in the vicinity of $1.5M (AUD) to Australian children’s causes every year through the Hyundai Help for Kids program.
