About

Tips for Applicants
Youturn is a service delivery organization, not a grantmaking foundation. They do not provide grants to other organizations. If you need support services in child safety, homelessness, mental health, or suicide bereavement, contact them directly at reception@youturn.org.au or 07 5442 4277. For partnerships or corporate support opportunities, they accept donations, workplace giving, in-kind support, and bequests through their website.
Giving Philosophy
Youturn operates as a direct service provider rather than a grantmaking foundation. Their model focuses on delivering non-judgmental, individualized support to people in crisis through government-funded programs and community partnerships. They emphasize trauma-informed care, cultural safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and evidence-based practice across their four core focus areas.
