The Anika Foundation

The Anika Foundation was set up in 2005 to raise funds for the purposes of supporting research into adolescent depression and suicide. Depression and suicide have become one of the largest (but least supported) medical and social problems of our time. Funds will be raised for an endowment that will be invested by the professionals on the board of the foundation, working on a completely voluntary basis. Income from the endowment will be used to fund annual research prizes in perpetuity, in the area of adolescent depression and suicide. The scope will be broad, including medical, social and educational research studies.

The Anika Foundation provides an opportunity for friends, colleagues, acquaintances and members of corporate Australia to make a difference, in an area that affects at least 1 in 4 families. All donations are fully tax deductible, and donors can be listed on this website to have their name linked with Anika and the Foundation, as caring members of society trying to make a difference.
