You can help vulnerable young people in crisis whose addiction is often hiding bigger social issues such as mental illness, homelessness, childhood trauma and unemployment.

Safety, hope and opportunity for all vulnerable young Australians

Sir David Martin Foundation is a family foundation, helping young people in crisis.
We’ve raised over $75M since 1990 to enable best-practice models of treatment for youth drug and alcohol addiction. The Foundation is the major funder of Mission Australia’s Triple Care Farm, a unique youth-specific addiction treatment centre which gives Australians, aged 16-24, a safe place to get well and prepare for new opportunities.
