Our mission is to provide direct benevolent relief to individuals experiencing hardship, and to organisations and charities serving on the frontlines. Funds raised through donations are also allocated towards developing life-affirming social issue documentary projects that inspire people to rise above their current situation. The projects are strategically screened throughout Australia, helping to raise awareness amongst local communities about the issues we support. Together we can accelerate our giving capacity and reach people in immediate need. So why not give a little and help back some of the brightest minds in the not-for-profit space.

Your donation to The White Shadow Foundation helps fund numerous and large scale projects all across Australia. The scope of these initiatives drill down into five key areas in society, which we have identified as critically important. Some of our key goals include: 1. Domestic and Family Violence; donations enable our grant beneficiaries to continue to provide shelter, resources, and care for countless women and families in DV situations. The Sanctuary Estate will be our flagship operation which exists to shelter, serve, and protect up to 130 women, children and babies each year who are trying to escape domestic and family violence. 2. Homeless Shelters and Support; to provide substantial monetary assistance to homeless charities and organisations throughout Australia, and direct funding grants to individuals 'living rough'. 3. Mental Health Initiatives; deploy funds to mental health support organisations. Also targeting extreme rural areas in Australia, where services are hard to access for individuals living remotely. Donations are also directed towards PTSD recovery courses. 4. Child Protection; partner with and distribute funds to charities that combat, and raise awareness about child sexual abuse and trafficking, helping parents know what to look for in protecting their children on-line and off-line. Assisting families coming to grips with a child being sexually abused. 5. Mothers and Newborns; donations help distribute large scale resource packs assisting mothers and their newborns experiencing hardship. Also funds women's counselling and support services post-birth. We also produce social issue documentaries about our key focus areas. The first film in the Value Of Human Life series, explores the subject matter of child protection and sex trafficking. It was recently completed and is currently being distributed worldwide via Gravitas Ventures.

We receive no government funding and rely solely on individual giving capacities as well as our corporate supporters. Your generosity means we can continue to fund vital support programs around Australia. Namely: improving the standard of living for the homeless population, the safety of women in domestic violence situations, protecting children against sexual abuse and trafficking, the continued assistance in connection to mental illness, and the boost to provide more assistance to mothers and their newborns experiencing hardship.

Our mission and vision has always been to help others. Existing charities are already out and about in the community making a difference. So we figure, why not lend a helping hand and extend the impact they can make. At the end of the day it means that more disadvantaged and marginalised people are reached. That's a win in our book!

We welcome enquiries regarding financial support for charities and from individual applicants. However, although we believe helping people in every area of life is important, The White Shadow Foundation specifically aligns itself with non-profit DGR entities which serve the community in the below areas, and/or individuals seeking financial assistance in the below areas only: 1. Mental Health. 2. Acute Homelessness. 3. Mothers / Newborns Experiencing Hardship. 4. Child Protection Against Sexual Abuse / Trafficking. 5. Domestic and Family Violence. If your scope of work or project falls into one of these categories, we welcome your enquiry. If you are an individual seeking help in one or more of these areas, please contact us with a referral from a pre-existing charity that is partnering with you to help facilitate grant monies.

We look at each application individually. This assessment includes, but is not limited to, The White Shadow Foundation completing the following due diligence on your charity organisation, namely: 1. Track record (time spent carrying out various scopes of work within the community). 2. Financial and Annual reports from the previous 24 months of operating. 3. Background on your executive and/or management team directly responsible for daily operations, yearly planning, and projects/appeals in development. 4. Where the entity is registered (charities need to be registered and operating in Australia). The board of directors at The White Shadow Foundation vote quarterly on where the next round of funding will be allocated. Upon conditional approval, we will be in touch for any further information we may require. Individuals seeking grants and/or assistance (via resources) can find additional information on our Grants page. If you meet the criteria please contact us.

We do not discriminate against applications for funding based on the size of the entity applying. We treat every application as if it were the only request we have received. The scope of work your organisation is carrying out in the community is one of the key areas we look at and not the size of the entity itself. It is critical for individual applicants to already have a charity partner organisation that is helping them in the area of need they require assistance in, prior to lodging the application. Please read all the information on our Grants page, then sign and return all required forms. We cannot start the due diligence process if information is missing, or if you don't meet the criteria. Due to time constraints, we are unable to respond to applicants that do not meet funding criteria.
