RIDMA Foundation Inc
Giving Philosophy
RIDMA focuses on supporting talented but financially less privileged school-aged children in fulfilling their educational aspirations through small, impactful donations. The foundation values grassroots support for schools and individual children, particularly in rural Sri Lankan communities, and emphasises that modest contributions can create meaningful change in children's lives.
Tips for Applicants
Applicants should emphasise the education-focused nature of their project and highlight how it supports financially disadvantaged children in rural communities. Given the foundation's small scale and international focus on Sri Lanka, direct outreach through their website's volunteer or donation channels may be more effective than formal grant applications.
Notable Grants
- Donation of medical equipment to hospitals in Sri Lanka
- Provision of financial aid and scholarships to students in Sri Lanka
- Organisation of community welfare services, cultural events, and disaster relief efforts in Australia
- Aged care visits and support for new migrants in Australia
