Tips for Applicants

The Mother's Day Classic Foundation primarily raises funds through its annual event and directs these funds to specific research organisations. It does not appear to have open grant application programs for external entities. Potential partners could explore sponsorship opportunities for the event.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation approaches giving by mobilising the community through a national annual event, the Mother's Day Classic, to raise life-saving funds for research. Their belief is to achieve a future where all women diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer are given the assurance they can survive.

Financial Details

Source of Wealth

The Mother's Day Classic was founded in 1998 by Mavis Robertson AM, former National Chair of Women in Super (WIS), and Louise Davidson AM. Women in Super, a not-for-profit organisation advocating for women's retirement outcomes, initiated the event to raise funds for women's health, particularly noting the impact of breast cancer on superannuation benefits. The foundation's funds are primarily generated through event registrations, individual donations, and corporate partnerships for the Mother's Day Classic events.
