PHILANTHROPY

Giving with Purpose

“My fulfilment comes not from helping myself, but from helping others who haven’t had the same opportunities.” — Kristian Livolsi

Kristian is committed to creating fair and equitable opportunities for all. His focus on diversity, inclusion, and measurable social impact underpins his philanthropic initiatives. Through mentoring, strategic support, and community engagement, Kristian ensures his efforts deliver meaningful results.

STORIES OF IMPACT

Opportunity in Action

One of Kristian’s proudest moments was mentoring Alex Kolberg, a legally blind apprentice who went on to become a Sous Chef at The Republic. With support from the Royal Society for the Blind, Kristian helped Alex complete a four-year apprenticeship, a story later featured by ABC and Sunrise.

“Trying is a gift so many people neglect.” — Kristian Livolsi

LEADING BY EXAMPLE

Turning Action into Impact

Each year, Kristian donates his time and expertise to raise significant funds for causes close to his heart, from Youth Opportunities to local mental health and homelessness initiatives. His “command lunch performance” has become a highlight on charity auction lists, generating five-figure donations from generous supporters.

“It’s incredibly humbling to witness the generosity of people who give so others can live better.”

Kristian and Lucy are so committed to changing the lives of others, that a few years ago they partnered with other philanthropists to form the Tony Keynes OAM General Excellence Scholarship at St Peters College. The scholarship allows a young man who would not otherwise have had the opportunity to attend Saints from Years 10 to 12 to take up a place at the school.

“Being able to be part of this experience and witnessing them flourish and grow is life changing.”

A SHARED MISSION

Together, Kristian and Lucy believe lasting change starts with action. They’ve instilled this philosophy in their family and business life, committing time, resources, and energy to projects that strengthen communities.

His strategic support has helped champion our cause in multi-faceted ways. Kristian has generously hosted functions on our behalf, donating his venue, time, staff and produce. He has donated incredible auction items that have raised more than $10,000 at events, and he has put his hand up to work side-by-side with our student graduates, offering them employment and traineeship opportunities in his various workplaces. Kristian is a committed, and passionate individual who puts his words into action and helps create change.

Kristian is one of the most philanthropic people I know. Even when his schedule is overloaded, he always makes time to give. And not just a ‘go-away gift’… he is one of those that gives of himself – his time, his expertise, his inspiration. He is passionate about contributing to the community and our community is lucky to have him.

Kristian’s passion for giving back to the community is limitless. He is one of those rare philanthropists who will go out of his way to truly connect with the cause and give generously not just of his money, but of his time and energy. I can’t think of a time that I have asked for his support for one of the charities that I have worked with that he has said ‘no’, he always finds a way to help.

I have been very fortunate to cross paths with Kristian over many years, in most cases when I have been seeking his support for the charity I have been aligned with at the time. Kristian consistently demonstrates his commitment to helping others by supporting multiple ‘for purpose’ organizations, along with sharing his values as he leads by example amongst his team. He pushes those around him forward with encouragement and enthusiasm with a goal of creating a better and more innovative future for South Australia.
