Firefly Children’s Foundation is a South Australian foundation funding pioneering research and programs that help children grow, glow and thrive, across health, education and welfare, from preconception to beyond early childhood. Established in 1976 with proceeds from community giving, our Foundation today is at the forefront of supporting innovative research into children’s health, education and
welfare. Our fundraising helps advance the work of South Australia’s world-class research and service organisations as they strive to initiate new concepts, build knowledge, target breakthroughs and accomplish outcomes to improve a child’s quality of life. We’re also passionate about fostering research talent and career opportunities in South Australia. That’s why our grant program is dedicated to state-led research, including career research where subsidy is rare. The Channel 7 Children’s Research Foundation has an established and proud association with Channel 7 Adelaide and some of the nation’s leading research and service organisations - Flinders University, Novita Children’s Services, The University of Adelaide, University of South Australia and the Women’s and Children’s Health Network - that together forms its Board and independent Research Committee.
