Live for Lily Foundation
About
Live for Lily Foundation is a charitable foundation established in memory of Lily Hester, who passed away from childhood cancer in 2014. The foundation's mission is to find a cure for childhood cancer through funding research and raising awareness. Based in Ascot Vale, VIC, the foundation supports pediatric cancer research and partners with organizations like the Minderoo Children's Comprehensive Cancer Centre.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation focuses specifically on funding research aimed at curing childhood cancers. They prioritize direct contributions to research institutions and centres that are working toward breakthrough treatments and ultimately a cure for pediatric cancers.
Tips for Applicants
Given their specific focus on childhood cancer research, applications should directly relate to pediatric cancer research initiatives. As a smaller foundation with $100,000 annual giving, they may prefer targeted, specific research proposals over broad operational funding requests.
