Our Giving

At HenderCare Foundation, we believe it’s important to always look at ways to improve the lives of children and young people; one way that we do this is through community-based partnerships.

HenderCare Foundation supports various organisations and charities, including:


Working with the Morialta Trust Inc., the Foundation was proud to recently offer two grants, The HenderCare Foundation Remote Communities Grant and The HenderCare Foundation Disability Grant.

The HenderCare Foundation Remote Communities Grant

The 2023 Foundation’s Remote Communities Grant was awarded to the Children’s Charity Network and CareFlight.

The Children’s Charity Network runs a Young Indigenous Teens mentoring program that supports underrepresented young Indigenous teens in the South Australian region and improves their resilience and mental well-being. The program includes psycho-educational art and literary workshops to create opportunities for social connection and to build skills and knowledge for improved mental health.

CareFlight’s Sick and Injured Kids in the Bush program aims to address the need for specialist paediatric clinical training and reduce high child mortality rates in rural and remote areas. CareFlight will deliver a Sick and Injured Kids in the Bush Workshop to ensure clinicians can access specialist emergency training that is otherwise unavailable in rural and remote areas. The training they receive will increase their knowledge and skills, critical to improving young patients’ survival prospects and long-term health outcomes.
