Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation Limited
Concentration RiskGovernment Funding ($13K)
Board Interlocks (3 shared directors)
Giving Philosophy
The foundation operates with a 'everything is possible' ethos, believing that curing paralysis is a matter of when, not if. They take a venture philanthropy approach, concentrating significant resources into one groundbreaking research program with clear milestones (pre-clinical to human trials) rather than spreading grants across many recipients. They actively seek matching funds and leverage government grants to multiply donor impact.
Tips for Applicants
This is not a typical grant-making foundation open to applications. Funding is directed almost exclusively to the Spinal Injury Project at Griffith University under Prof James St John. The foundation operates as a fundraising vehicle for a specific research program rather than a passive funder. Interested researchers or organisations would need to align with the cell transplantation and rehabilitation trial approach or contribute in complementary ways.

Disability Market Context
NDIS LayerThis organisation shows disability-related delivery signals. The strategic question is whether it sits inside a resilient market, a thin market, or a captured market where large providers take most of the money and local alternatives are scarce.
