Who We Are
The SKJ Family Foundation, founded by Sam & Krystal Johnson, was established to give back to the community in a structured and sustainable way. As a private ancillary fund, we prioritise long-term reinvestment to ensure continuous support for charitable initiatives.
With countless charities in need of funding, SKJ Family Foundation focuses on two key areas: youth and domestic violence. Our mission is to provide ongoing support for the growing efforts of these organisations, ensuring they have the resources to create real change.
Beyond financial contributions, we believe in active engagement. The SKJ Family Foundation offers an opportunity to invest in meaningful causes, see the direct impact of giving, and, when possible, participate in the initiatives we support.
Working Together
The SKJ Family Foundation will provide funding for the below projects:
- Projects that directly support children, adolescents, and families who are disadvantaged due to education, financial, and/or social circumstances.
- Projects that directly support groups or organisations assisting children, adolescents, or families with a medical condition, disability, addiction, and/or mental illness.
- Medical research projects focusing on child and adolescent health.
- Projects providing direct support to victims of domestic violence.
