Black Dog Institute: Supporting digital Mental Health: Evaluating the myNewWay® App
This project aims to evaluate how the myNewWay® app, which integrates evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness, can enhance psychological care for adults with anxiety and depression. By combining digital interventions with traditional therapy, it has the potential to reduce the burden on mental health services while improving access and outcomes for those in need.
Cure Cancer: Immunotherapy Drugs
The money you raise will directly help Cure Cancer fund: Dr. Ben Wylie and his team have developed a biodegradable gel that delivers mRNA-based immunotherapy drugs directly to the surgical site during sarcoma removal, aiming to prevent cancer recurrence. This innovative gel activates the immune system to target remaining cancer cells, offering a promising solution to reduce the need for intense follow-up treatments and improve outcomes for paediatric sarcoma patients.
The Fred Hollows Foundation: Quality Eye Care
The Fred Hollows Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that everyone, no matter where they live, has access to quality eye care. Founded on the vision of the late Professor Fred Hollows, the Foundation works to end avoidable blindness and restore sight to people in over 25 countries. Through life-changing surgeries, training local doctors and health workers, and strengthening healthcare systems, the Foundation empowers communities to take control of their eye health. With millions of people worldwide suffering from preventable blindness, Fred Hollows' legacy continues to transform lives—because everyone deserves the right to see.
Indigenous Literacy Foundation: Publishing Bilingual Books for First Nations Communities
Your participation will directly fund the publication of a new bilingual book, set to be released in late 2025. These books are created in partnership with First Nations Communities, reflecting their language, culture and lived experiences - something rarely seen in commercially produced books. With your support, we can ensure more children have access to stories that celebrate their identity and strengthen literacy in their own languages.
Starlight Children’s Foundation: The Starlight Room
The Starlight Room is a medical-free sanctuary inside the hospital where sick kids can laugh, play, and simply be kids. It’s a vital space that offers relief and joy not just to children, but to their families too - especially during tough times. With your support, 250 kids will get to experience the magic of this room and all the moments of normalcy it brings.
Take 3 for the Sea: End plastic pollution
This organisation inspires everyone to participate in simple actions to reduce the impacts of plastic pollution and waste.
