Every year in Australia, approximately 200 children are diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Every year, hundreds of Australian families have their worlds turned upside down when their child is diagnosed with a brain or spinal cord tumour. For many children, the fight for survival is heartbreaking, and sadly, not all will survive. For those who do, the lasting effects of their tumour and treatment can impact their physical, intellectual and social development for years to come.
No family should have to face this journey alone.
Brainchild Foundation is dedicated to standing beside these families, providing practical and financial support, education and access to programs that help children and young people navigate life during and beyond treatment. We are also committed to funding targeted research to advance our understanding of these devastating diseases and improve future treatments and outcomes.
With your support, we can bring hope to families today and help create better tomorrows for children facing this diagnosis. Our hope is to bring people, businesses and communities together to raise the vital funds needed to support families, advance research and make a lasting difference when it matters most.

There are a number of options when considering a donation to the Brainchild Foundation:
- Secure one off donation to the Brainchild foundation.
- A monthly or regular donation. This provides reliable, long term income, which will help us to plan future research programmes and scholarships.
- Create a personalised fundraising page for your event to share with family and friends by clicking on ‘Fundraise for this cause’ and setting up your own fundraising page by choosing ‘crowdraising now’.
A donation can also be made to the Foundation in lieu of a gift, or in the memory of a loved one.
Donations of $2.00 or more are tax deductible in Australia, provided they are made voluntarily and the donor receives no material benefit for the donation. The Foundation provides its donors with official receipts for taxation purposes
