The StandbyU Foundation has joined forces with Rounda to launch a new fundraising initiative that empowers everyday Australians to make a meaningful impact. Through Rounda’s rounding-up model, supporters will have the option to round up their everyday purchases and donate the spare change to StandbyU. This effortless giving mechanism has the power to turn small, regular contributions into a sustainable stream of support for safety, connection, and community.
Funds raised through this partnership will directly support StandbyU’s front-line safety programs, including the Shield Charity Program, which provides the wearable 4G safety device known as the Shield for children, young people, and adults experiencing domestic violence, abuse, or isolation. These donations will help expand access to life-saving technology, extend the reach of StandbyU’s person-centred support, and ensure that solutions remain free for those who need them most.
By embracing Rounda’s micro-donation model, StandbyU combines human connection and innovative technology in a new way—making it simpler for Australians to join the movement for safer communities. This collaboration strengthens StandbyU’s mission to prevent harm before it occurs, proving that true safety is built through connection, compassion, and community.
