What We Stand For
Every decision we make is guided by a commitment to real, measurable impact. We believe in responsible, outcome-driven giving, ensuring that funds are directed toward projects with the potential to create meaningful change.
Sustainability is at the heart of our approach, as we seek to support initiatives that continue to make a difference long after our funding period ends. Transparency and accountability are central to our process, allowing us to build strong, lasting relationships with the charities we support.
Our Latest Partnerships
The SKJ Family Foundation is committed to funding projects that create real opportunities for young people and provide essential support for survivors of domestic violence. By partnering with charities that share our vision, we are able to drive positive change and help those who need it most.
A Brave Life
SKJ Family Foundation is proud to support A Brave Life. Based in North Brisbane, A Brave Life ensures vulnerable mothers facing crisis, isolation, or discrimination are supported to thrive with their newborns in their communities.
Our support enables A Brave Life to maintain their Brendale headquarters, which serves as a hub for storing and distributing Baby Bundles across Queensland, as well as hosting EMALO sessions for local mothers. Through this partnership, the SKJ Family Foundation helps ensure vulnerable mothers and their babies receive the care, education, and resources they need to create lasting change in their lives.
The Carers Foundation
SKJ Family Foundation provides funding support to The Carers Foundation for the Wellbeing from Within project, a holistic initiative designed to strengthen the mental, emotional and physical wellbeing of unpaid family carers across Moreton Bay and surrounding regions. The Carers Foundation’s goal is to establish Australia’s first wellbeing and recovery centre for family carers, where these vital programs will be delivered in a safe, healing environment.
The project delivers evidence-based wellbeing programs, workshops and ongoing support that equip carers with practical tools to prevent burnout, reduce isolation and build resilience. By contributing to this program, SKJ Family Foundation assisted The Carers Foundation expand access to preventative, sustainable care for disadvantaged carers who often lack the time and resources to prioritise their own wellbeing, supporting healthier individuals, families and communities.
Left Write Hook
SKJ Family Foundation provided funding to support the first Sunshine Coast pilot of the Left Write Hook program. This innovative, survivor-led workshop combines writing with trauma-informed boxing to help female and non-binary adults affected by family and gendered violence to reclaim their lives. The program is research-backed and designed to break the cycle of family violence while empowering participants through creative and physical expression.
Starlight Children’s Foundation
SKJ Family Foundation supported Starlight’s Livewire program to deliver creative, peer-based workshops for adolescents receiving inpatient mental health treatment at Robina Hospital and Queensland Children’s Hospital. Livewire transforms the hospital experience through age-appropriate activities that build resilience, confidence and social connection, without feeling like clinical treatment.
Through weekly workshops in art, music, multimedia and creative expression, the program provided 616 engagement experiences, supporting 205 young people during a critical period of their mental health journey. Livewire creates a safe space for teens to exercise choice, connect with peers and regain a sense of control, contributing to improved mood, reduced isolation and a more positive hospital experience for both patients and staff.
Kids+
SKJ Family Foundation funding supports the Kids+ Parent Infant Program (PIP), providing early developmental intervention for ‘at risk’ infants aged 0-2 years following complex neonatal journeys.
Funds contribute to allied health practitioners’ salaries – including Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists and Social Workers – enabling timely, evidence-based support for infants and their families to reduce developmental risk, optimise development and support family wellbeing.
