Little Heroes Foundation Incorporated

Board Interlocks (1 shared directors)

Giving Philosophy

The foundation focuses on funding medical equipment and facilities at the Women's and Children's Hospital Adelaide, with strategic priority given to childhood dementia research. They partner with government and universities to maximize impact for South Australian children with physical and mental health conditions.

Tips for Applicants

Given their specific focus on childhood dementia and established relationships with Flinders University and Women's and Children's Hospital, prospective applicants should align closely with these existing programs. The foundation appears to prefer strategic partnerships rather than open grant applications.
