Dear Dyslexic Foundation

Dear Dyslexic Foundation (DDF) is a dyslexic-led grassroots, social enterprise with charitable status. Established in 2017 it has been the leader in changing the narrative for adults with dyslexia across Australia.

Since its conception, it has given a voice to the once-voiceless by disrupting the norm and making significant contributions to this space. Our vision is to empower young people and adults with learning disabilities to reach their full potential.

The Meerkat Fund has been established in honour of our patron Victoria, who was known as the Meerkat at her schools for always popping up unannounced! The fund aims to provide financial assistance for individuals and families who cannot access vital diagnostic services and educational support. Despite dyslexia being one of the largest disability groups, it does not receive any funding, so the Meerkat Fund is committed to helping.
