How you can help the Stillbirth Foundation

Family, friends, work colleagues and communities can often feel helpless when they hear of a loved one that has been touched by the unimaginable sadness of losing a child. Supporting the Stillbirth Foundation is a way that you can make a difference.

There are a variety of ways you can help the Stillbirth Foundation to achieve its goal to reduce the incidence of stillbirth in Australia. You can make a tax deductible donation, purchase Stella the Stillbirth Foundation Bear or donate goods and/or services.

Donation

The Stillbirth Foundation operates on a fully voluntary basis and supported by the Mater Hospital Sydney which means that our operating costs are very low. Almost all of the donated money we receive goes directly to supporting the stillbirth cause. Please download this form, print it out, fill it in and send it back to us by post or fax. Our details are on the form and are available from the main menu.

A lot of our donations are received in memory of beloved babies, at the time of their birth or annually in memory of their birthday. If you wish your donation to be recorded in memory of a baby, please include his/her name on the donation slip.

In addition, you might prefer to make a donation on line or create an in memoriam donation email to distribute to family and friends.  The company, MyFundraiser, partners with the Stillbirth Foundation to offer this service.  Please click through this link to reach the Stillbirth Foundation fundraising page on the MyFundraiser website. 

Stella the Stillbirth Foundation Bear

All profits from the sale of Stella the Stillbirth Foundation Bear go directly to the Stillbirth Foundation. Purchasing Stella Bear, as a gift for a family that has been touched by stillbirth or to donate to a Hospital, is a way that anyone can help reduce the incidence of stillbirth. Donating Stella to a local Hospital to give to other stillbirth bereaved families is a loving gesture. You are welcome to do this directly or you may contact the Teddy Love Club for assistance. Once again, purchases of Stella Bear can be made in memory of babies.

Stella costs just $25 (including $5 for postage within Australia). For international postage, please contact info@stillbirthfoundation.org.au to obtain a quote. To order Stella the Stillbirth Foundation Bear, please download this Order Form, print it out, fill it in and send it back to us by post or fax. Our details are on the form and are available from the main menu.
