Supporting our
movement's future.
Forever.

The Kerrod Burt Foundation helps power the future of the Young Liberal Movement. Through fundraising campaigns and donor engagement, the Foundation provides essential support for our events, campaigns, leadership programs and key organisational initiatives. This backing strengthens our ability to train young leaders, run statewide activities and contribute meaningfully to the Party’s grassroots efforts. By investing in long-term capability and ensuring financial stability, the Foundation guarantees that Young Liberals have the resources, opportunities and support they need to make a real impact in their communities and across Victoria, both now and into the future.

Victorian Young Liberals 80th Anniversary Celebration

On 12 November 2025, the Victorian Young Liberals marked the 80th anniversary of our Movement. For eight decades, Young Liberals have driven campaigns, built organisational strength and supported the Party’s grassroots effort, and this milestone gave us the chance to recognise that history while focusing on the years ahead.

The event brought together past presidents, members and parliamentarians who have shaped the organisation across many eras. Hearing their experiences, from those who served in the years following the Whitlam dismissal right up to the past presidents of today, highlighted the continuity and strength of our Movement.

A key moment of the evening was the launch of the Kerrod Burt Foundation. The Foundation has been created to support the long-term future of the Victorian Young Liberals and to provide ongoing opportunities for emerging leaders.

By joining the Victorian Young Liberals, members become part of a long and proud story. The 80th Anniversary Celebration honoured that legacy and set the tone for the next chapter of our Movement.
