Tips for Applicants

As this is a social enterprise that funds its charity program through commercial operations, prospective grantees should demonstrate clear alignment with their safety-through-connections mission and show how their program addresses domestic violence, isolation, or community safety. Emphasise measurable outcomes and direct impact on vulnerable populations, particularly those most at risk. Given their national operational footprint, multi-state partnerships may be well-received.

Giving Philosophy

StandbyU Foundation approaches giving through a social enterprise model, using revenue from their commercial staff safety and independent living solutions to fund their Charity Program. They prioritize providing free safety equipment (Shields) to those at risk of domestic violence and isolation, believing that safety should be accessible to everyone regardless of their financial situation. The foundation values partnerships with organisations that share their mission of preventing incidents through connected safety solutions.
