StandbyU Foundation
StandbyU Foundation aims to harness and embrace the power of human connections to build a better, safer world for people with stories of vulnerability in our communities.
StandbyU Foundation aims to prevent complex social issues such as abuse, domestic violence and isolation through the mobilisation of family and friends. StandbyU has developed a world-first, innovative way to support families at risk of domestic violence to ensure they can always access the help they need, and importantly, when they need it.
2023 Pitch
Funds Raised: $32,801
Chris, the Founder of StandbyU Foundation pitched for funds to scale their Connected Community Partnership (CCP) and deploy 20+ StandbyU Shields to vulnerable children and women across Queensland and support those on our current waiting list.
The Impact…
StandbyU used the funding to deploy 25 Shields to women and their children in Queensland experiencing domestic and family violence, abuse and isolation.
Beneficiary story: “I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the recent StandbyU Shield you set up for me. Me and my kids feel so much safer now we are just able to press a button to get help from family. Of all the things we have put in place, like cameras and security doors, this makes us feel the safest. The positive impact it has had on us can be seen in every day things – we are smiling and laughing more and feeling confident in going out. I would like to extend my gratitude to everyone involved in this life saving initiative.”
