The primary goal of our partnerships is to reduce the number of injuries to children and to assist with injury recovery to burns survivors and children with other life changing injuries. We believe it is important that our partnerships deliver mutual benefits and are aligned to both organisations' mission and values.
The KIDS Foundation is fortunate enough to have a number of partners. These partnerships include financial support for our programs and services, in-kind goods and services, and pro bono support towards events and marketing activities.
The KIDS Foundation is grateful to all the companies and organisations who continue to support us.
