Our Story

The Channel 7 Children’s Research Foundation of South Australia is an independent not-for-profit organisation dedicated to enriching the lives of children through research.

Founded in 1976 with proceeds generated from the SAS Channel 7 Adelaide (then SAS10) annual Christmas Appeal Telethon, the Foundation today dedicates around $2 million in grants each year to generate new knowledge and advances in the areas of health, education and welfare to improve the quality of life for all children.

We work in partnership with South Australia’s world-class research organisations and are passionate about retaining excellent researchers and fostering research talent in South Australia.

The Channel 7 Children’s Research Foundation is governed by the Rules of the Foundation, in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Act, 1985, as amended.
