Charities

Welcome to a new charity dedicated to improving the lives of people with allergy and immune disease. This is a growing health issue. Some call it an epidemic. Everyone knows someone with an allergy.

The Allergy and Immunology Foundation of Australasia (AIFA) is dedicated to funding medical research to find out why. This knowledge will lead to strategies for prevention, better treatments, and potential cures.
Launched in September 2013, the Foundation is an initiative of the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA), the peak professional body of immunology and allergy specialists in the region.
AIFA provides a vehicle for corporate and personal donors to contribute directly to medical research into immune diseases, identified by experts in the field.
We are proud to have funded four excellent patient-focused projects to date. See www.allergyimmunology.org.au/projects. Our grants encourage collaborations between researchers throughout Australia and New Zealand and young reserachers trying to break into the competitive world of medical research.

AMRRIC (Animal Management in Rural and Remote Indigenous Communities) is a national not-for-profit charity that coordinates veterinary and education programs in Indigenous communities.

Our Mission Statement
The objective of Arthritis & Osteoporosis WA is to reduce the incidence and disabling effects of arthritis, osteoporosis and related conditions in the people of Western Australia.

History

The Western Australian Arthritis & Rheumatism Foundation (WAARF) was inaugurated in October 1972, as a non-government organisation, through the efforts of Drs Phyllis Goatcher, Evan Owen and Roger Dawkins. Its first home was an office freely offered by the ANZ Bank in Murray St. Its main aims were care, education and research.

In 1991, the organisation's name was updated and changed to its present form. From this modest beginning, the Foundation opened its own custom built Resource Centre in 1994 after a successful Capital Fundraising Appeal, naming the building after Mr Bill Wyllie in appreciation of his significant personal contribution.

In addition to staff offices, the Wyllie Arthritis Centre houses a hydrotherapy pool, gymnasium, seminar and board rooms, café, book shop and leased office space to other tenants. Arthritis & Osteoporosis WA offers a range of support groups and branches that have evolved from the self-help courses conducted over the years. As the population ages, the incidence of arthritis, an umbrella term for over 100 types of disease, is increasing at alarming rates and in 2004 was made the 7th Health Priority by the Federal Government, enabling state wide Foundations to benefit, by access to government funding.

Arthritis & Osteoporosis WA adheres to the West Australian Carers Charter.

We are the lead charity for the Great Barrier Reef. Our sole purpose is to restore and protect the most biodiverse natural wonder of the world and to keep its many reefs GREAT.

The Great Barrier Reef has suffered unprecedented back to back mass coral bleaching over recent years. Damaging cyclones which are increasing in frequency and intensity has further compounded the stress on our reefs. There is no doubt that the world’s largest reef is under pressure like never before.

Our efforts to restore reefs and build their resilience to climate change (and other threats), needs urgent acceleration. We need to scale up our effort with funding being a vital enabler. The Great Barrier Reef is huge – bigger than entire countries. The Great Barrier Reef needs your support now more than ever.

The Foundation’s projects range from saving endangered green turtles to restoring damaged reef ecosystems; sequencing coral DNA to developing frontier technologies in creating killer robots that help manage crown of thorn starfish outbreaks or act as robotic 'rangers' to carry out reef-scale monitoring to help ‘human’ reef managers.
The Great Barrier Reef Foundation champions real solutions to threats facing this global treasure. We also share our knowledge with reef managers around the world. One billion people are reliant on reefs for their livelihood with most living in third world countries. With your support, we can save the Great Barrier Reef as well as reefs around the world.

The Great Barrier Reef contributes $6.4 billion to the Australian economy each year and supports over 64,000 jobs. The economic and social icon value has been quantified at $56 billion. What is the value of reefs around world?

The Great Barrier Reef is battered and bruised but it is still amazingly beautiful, incredibly diverse, and, it is irreplaceable. We must do all we can to protect this global treasure. We must save it for the many species it supports, for its economic, environmental and social value, and for richness of life it provides for current and future generations.

Your support, kindness and generosity is highly appreciated. Thank you so much from the Great Barrier Reef and the team at the Foundation.

Until a medical cure is found, it is our belief that each and every MND sufferer and their family deserve to have the ability to continue to participate and thrive within their communities. In this regards, we are passionate about providing vital equipment and services to these patients in order that they may maintain independence, dignity, and an improved quality of life.

To Make Aware:
The foundation will continue to push MND into the spotlight in the hopes that by increasing the public profile of Motor Neurone Disease within the Australian and wider communities, governments and pharmaceutical companies will take up the fight and join us in a quest for viable treatments, and an ultimate cure.

A dog charity with a difference, Dogstar is committed to understanding Sri Lankan communities and helping them to find sustainable solutions to animal welfare issues.


MORE INFO
Sri Lanka is home to millions of roaming street dogs and cats, who suffer immeasurable pain from diseases, vehicle accidents, and cruelty. Overpopulation of street dogs (and cats) has been an issue that societies have dealt with in a variety of ways, many inhumane. The welfare of the animals has rarely been considered, and as a result, campaigns of poisoning, shooting, electrocution, drowning, starvation and other cruel methods have been used to "dispose" of unwanted animals. Such activities are not only brutal; they are ineffective because, although they may serve as methods for “immediate” results, they are not long-term solutions.
The life of an uncared for street dog can be wretched. Entire lives spent without any positive human contact, basic shelter or veterinary care. Suffering hunger, constant torment from preventable and treatable skin conditions or parasitic infections. Dogs and cats are at constant risk of being trapped in illegal snares, injured in fights over territory, contracting sexually transmitted diseases or being exposed to fatal diseases like Rabies. In Sri Lanka, the most effective way to deal with the street dog overpopulation crisis is through education, sterilization and vaccination.
The Dogstar Foundation is transforming animal welfare in Sri Lanka.

From heart disease to cancers, diabetes to suicide, Australian men’s top health issues are alarming yet largely preventable. Australian men; whether it be a friend, colleague, family member, partner or boyfriend, are more likely to have serious health problems, and that they die in greater numbers from almost every non-sex-specific health problem.
Got The Balls' aim is simple, to increase the number of men taking responsibility for their own physical and mental health and to enable them to be around for their families’ and friends for many years to come; and to raise awareness of the need for men to summon the courage, strength and truth within themselves to visit their GP or supporting agencies and ask for all relevant medical check’s to be carried out.
Even though men's health may not be emphasised as much as women's health, men have their own unique health issues and nutrient needs. Men tend to die at a younger age than women and are much less inclined to be proactive and preventive about their health care.
A woman frequently consults their health-care practitioner at least once a year, while a man tends to see his doctor when something is obviously going wrong; which can often span years, if not longer.
Nevertheless, men do have their own health concerns which can be addressed proactively.
Why would you risk it, why are you and your loved ones not important enough for you to have a simple hand full of non-invasive tests performed so that you will be as informed as possible about your mental and physical health.

The LifeAgain Foundation was founded with one primary objective; to inspire and connect men through times of change. Through meaningful connection, men can be supported positively during periods of challenges and change such as transition, dissatisfaction, divorce, loss, financial pressures, low self-esteem and the general malaise of our fast-paced modern lives.

The message of LifeAgain is that when it comes to change and how men navigate it, they are not alone.

Hi There and Thank you for consideration in supporting The Nature Conservation Council of NSW.
The Nature Conservation Council of NSW (NCC) is the state's peak environmental non-government organisation, representing more than 150 community environmental groups. NCC has a strong reputation for leading effective action and influencing the direction of environmental protection in NSW. Founded in 1955, we have worked for over 60 years to protect wildlife, forests, rivers and oceans and mobilised thousands of people to demand real action to protect these areas and on matters regarding climate change. We have successfully responded to the critical threats to the Australian environment through our state-wide network of members, staff and volunteers. We work to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to achieve an ecologically sustainable society through advocacy, education, research and community empowerment.

Founded in 1981, Nature Foundation SA is a not-for-profit nature charity that works to Save, Protect and Restore South Australia’s natural biodiversity.

Orangutan Foundation International Australia’s (OFIA) mission is to support and continue the orangutan and forest conservation efforts initiated by Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas in Kalimantan, Borneo. Dr Galdikas, who is Patron and a Board Member of OFIA, is an internationally renowned environmentalist, anthropologist and orangutan expert.
OFIA has two core campaigns; caring for orphaned and displaced orangutans at the OFI Care Centre & Quarantine in Pasir Panjang Village, Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo; and, securing habitat for their future release.
OFI currently care for 330+ orangutans at their Care Centre. These orangutans have been orphaned due to the destruction of their habitat for palm oil plantations, illegal logging, & mining. Without the OFI Care Centre, these beautiful, gentle apes would be homeless and more than likely dead. The Care Centre is a half-way house for orangutans, providing them with food, shelter and love along with the skills they will need when they are old enough to be released back into the wild.
However, for that eventual release to be successful, land needs to be secured to ensure they have a safe place to live.
Through The Orangutan Legacy Forest project, OFI aims to purchase, protect and replant forest habitat in Borneo that is vital to the orangutan’s survival - land which is protected from poachers, palm oil plantations, illegal loggers and miners, creating a large, protected and interconnected orangutan habitat ‘sanctuary’, keeping wild orangutans safe and creating this much needed sanctuary for the release of rehabilitated orangutans from the Care Centre. With so little protected forest remaining, and with many national parks off limits to ex-captive animals, this initiative offers a real and tangible future for those animals once they are ready to return to the wild.
For the orangutans currently being cared for by OFI, the Orangutan Legacy Forest truly is ‘the promised land.’ Each month more orangutans arrive at the Care Centre where they enter OFI’s rehabilitation program.

Welcome to the Saving Perth Animals From Euthanasia Incorporated (SAFE Perth) giver app. We have a large and dedicated team of foster carers and volunteers covering the Perth metro area, saving hundreds of lives every year. SAFE Perth rescue animals due for euthanasia at pounds and vets and take in unwanted and abandoned animals as far south as Albany, up to Broome in the north and York and Northam in the east. This includes flying animals in from remote communities. Rescued pets are then placed with volunteer carers to live in their own homes where they are cared for as part of the family. Whilst in foster care animals are assessed, vet work completed and basic training is commenced.

All SAFE Perth fosters are vet checked, sterilised, vaccinated, micro chipped, flea treated and wormed before leaving to live out the rest of their lives in loving homes that have been screened for suitability.

In 2014/2015 we rehomed 1,086 animals.

Stop Live Exports is an incorporated, not-for-profit, community organization that was founded in 1995. We have been lobbying against and educating about cruelty in animal transport and the live export trade for over twenty years.

There IS no humane way to transport live animals to foreign countries that have no animal welfare laws and where we realistically have no control over how they are handled and slaughtered, as over a decade of investigations and exposés has demonstrated and we believe animals should be slaughtered as close as possible to origin and that stunning must be mandatory.

Surf Life Saving has a proud tradition of saving lives for over 100 years. Since 1907, Surf Life Savers have volunteered their time and effort to provide a dedicated lifesaving service around the country.

Welcome to the Australian NPC Disease Foundation. Our Foundation is solely managed by families in Australia with children with Niemann Pick Type C Disease. NPC Disease is a terminal progressive, neurological disease which doesn’t enable the brain to process cholesterol. Presently there is no known cure and medication is purely on symptoms presented by the patient. Research is currently looking into a potential life enhancing, if not life saving, medication that will allow kids with NPC Disease to hopefully reach the age of adult hood and beyond, and enable them to have a better quality of life. NPC is a very aggressive debilitating disease. Patients lose their ability to eat, swallow, walk, talk, they suffer dementia and sometimes seizures, they are wheelchair bound and have no way of expressing or communicating their feelings. There are currently only a mere 5 families working for the Australian NPC Disease Foundation, as well as caring for their children whose ages vary from 2 years old up to 28 years old. Every person deserves the right to live, but having a rare disease seems to rob people of that right when it comes to gaining funding for research and treatment options, due to the small number of patients diagnosed. The incidence of having a child with NPC Disease is 1:150000, the chances of having further children with NPC Disease once already having a child diagnosed, is 1:4. Carrier status of NPC Disease, which also has consequences for the Carrier, is said to be in 1999, in Victoria alone, 1:200.
Please help us save our children and any other child or adult diagnosed not only now, but in the future with NPC Disease.

Welcome to our feisty foundation! The Bob Brown Foundation is about action with a vision to protect Australia’s wild and scenic natural places of ecological and global significance. Action for Earth is our mantra.
