Tips for Applicants

This Foundation does not appear to operate a grant-making program. Instead, they are a direct service provider. Organizations seeking to partner should focus on corporate partnership opportunities, sponsorship of specific programs (Buddy Bags, eSmart, Dolly's Dream), or cause-related marketing partnerships. Individual donors can contribute through monthly giving, one-time donations, bequests, or virtual gift purchases. The Foundation actively seeks corporate partners across various categories (Official, Impact, Supporting, Community) based on alignment with child safety mission.

Giving Philosophy

The Foundation operates as a direct service provider rather than a traditional grant-maker. Their theory of change focuses on three interconnected approaches: immediate crisis support for children experiencing trauma, long-term prevention through education and cultural change, and systemic advocacy to protect children's rights. They believe children can only reach their full potential when safe from violence and trauma, and work to address both the immediate needs and root causes of harm.

Financial Details

Source of Wealth
This is not a private foundation built on personal wealth. The Foundation was established by Walter Mikac AM in memory of his daughters following the Port Arthur tragedy. It operates as an independent charity funded primarily through public donations, corporate partnerships, and fundraising activities rather than an endowed family fortune.
