Jaylee Cooper

Another of our new members, Jaylee Cooper, is no stranger to philanthropy or to many of our Impact100 SA members, as being Manager of Philanthropy and Engagement at Catherine House and through working across the not-for-profit sector for the past 20 years, Jaylee says that she understands the difference that supporting a charity can make, knowing that many charities can simply not exist without the support of philanthropy.

Jaylee and her partner Craig Kempe, told us it is very important for them to model their “giving values” to their three teenage children and that they have tried to model to their children that with their privilege comes responsibility. When they joined Impact100 SA they shared their decision with their children, so that they would know why it was important for their family to do this.

While Jaylee is passionate about supporting women out of homelessness, Craig is passionate about physical activity and wellbeing, particularly for children and young adults. Through his current role working for the City Of Murray Bridge, he is actively working to improve the lives of people in the community, particularly those who may be disadvantaged..

I have long watched the incredible support Impact100 has been able to provide to some wonderful SA charities and we are really proud to be involved.
