The Scaffidi Foundation

We’re finding it hard to generate funds, but read on – you may be able to help. We’ve developed a workplace information kit that you can print out and pop up on your notice board at work or email around to friends, family and colleagues. The kit explains who we are, what we do and what we need. There’s also a lovely poster to put up onto your fridge at work to remind your colleagues about us every time they need milk for their coffee…

All we are asking you to do is send the information on to as many people as you can, and ask them to do the same. One person can help us to make a huge difference – that could be you or someone in your address book, so why not forward this information on now!

• Are you able to send a link to this page around to your friends and family?
• Are you able to tell someone else about our work?
• Are you able to make a regular or one-off donation?
• Does your organisation have a workplace giving program?
• Could you recommend the Scaffidi Foundation to your employers?
• Could you put on of the attached poster up in your workplace?
• Do you have a friend who could put one of the attached posters in their workplace?

Please help us to continue to be able to support families who have a child living with cancer.

Dimitri was a long-time and very generous volunteer of the Scaffidi Foundation. Many of the photographs on this site were taken by Dimitri. He lived an extraordinary life. He pushed all of us to be better people and to live life to the full. Dimitri passed away from cancer on Friday 3 July. We send our love and condolences to his family.

We will always remember him.

Nellie Panay was a loyal and generous supporter of the Scaffidi Foundation. She shared her networks and her support from the moment she was introduced to the Foundation until shortly before her passing. Nellie lost her battle with cancer in early 2008.

She will remain forever in our hearts. We aim to share ‘Nellie’s gift’ - her spirit, passion and kindness – with the families we support.

Workplace Giving allows you to make regular donations to your favourite charity through your employer’s payroll system. You can nominate any amount to give from your salary each month, no matter how small. Some employers may also choose to match employee donations or donate a specified amount.

So if your employer has a workplace giving scheme and you would like to donate to the Scaffidi Foundation, please let us know.

There has never been a better time to donate to the Scaffidi Foundation. Your support will not only help us to continue to expand our much-needed services, but we can now provide you with a tax deductible receipt. It’s a bonus all round!

The Foundation needs your support more than ever. We understand that the GFC has been very difficult for many people, so we’d like to thank all of our supporters who continue to donate, attend our events and spread the word about the work of the Foundation. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
