Your generosity provides essential support to families living with the pain of ambiguous loss

Whilst not everyone can relate to having a missing loved one, everyone knows the ache and longing of missing someone they love. That’s at the core of the experience; the distress, anguish and administrative obstacles are layers of grief on top.

The Missed Foundation fills a gap no other organisation can, and your donation means more to this community than you can ever know.

We have pro bono and in-kind support covering everything from office space (no overheads!) to communications and media support, graphic design, printing, videography, advertising, counselling and legal advice. But without any government or corporate funding, we rely completely on donations and fundraising.

Independent Social Return on Investment (SROI) research found that for every $1 invested into Missed, $5.73 of social value is generated (sector average $3-$4). Guaranteed bang for buck.

The difference we’ve made

We weren’t able to get media attention until we started with Missed and now at least the public knows he’s missing.
– Father
Loren is a champion in the missing persons’ space. Thank you for shining a bright light on this subject and for giving those with lived experience a much-needed voice.
– Family
Missed’s invaluable support, time and effort can never be quantified or thanked for. We could not have coped without Loren and are eternally grateful.
– Mother
The general sense that I’m not alone has been a huge help. The connections to other supports such as specialist counselling has been wonderful.
– Wife
When my sister disappeared, there was nothing like Missed available. Loren and her team have made so much progress in advancing people’s understanding of the impacts of missingness.
– Brother
If you’ve ever dealt with The Missed Foundation, you will feel the genuine care that is their backbone. This care and attention to detail also shines through their campaigns.
– Brother
Missed gave me strength, loving support and extremely helpful information and direction.
– Mother
I consider Loren and Missed family for everything they have done for ours as well as other families of missing persons.
– Brother
Missed being able to relate to what we go through is amazing, and I am so grateful for the ongoing support.
– Daughter
The guide website has been like a bible to our family.
