Concerns have been raised over the future of Grace Tame’s charity after it was revealed it has lost over $180,000 in two years, while internal tensions grow over her infamous ‘globalise the intifada’ protest speech.

According to filings with the Australian Charities and Not‑for‑profits Commission (ACNC), the Grace Tame Foundation recorded a $60,640 deficit in the 2025 financial year, after posting a $121,690 loss the previous year.

The foundation’s latest report said there were ‘reasonable grounds’ to believe the company would be able to pay its debts, reporting total equity of $129,563.

It comes just days after the former Australian of the Year announced that she had lost all speaking engagements for the rest of the year, blaming a ‘smear campaign’ against her.

‘This is my last presentation of the year and it’s only March,’ Tame told audiences at the No to Violence conference in Hobart on Thursday.

Daily Mail understands that Tame charged about $20,000 per corporate speaking event, as of 2023 – meaning she has lost a considerable source of revenue.

The ACNC filings show the charity’s main expenses in the last financial year were psychological support ($63,124), salaries and wages ($34,228), and recruitment costs ($26,760).

Funds were also directed to staff training and welfare ($11,647), website expenses ($6,972) and survivor legal expenses ($17,000).

Tame now says her livelihood has been ‘completely destroyed’ in the month since she shouted ‘globalise the intifada’ at a rally, protesting against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s state visit, outside Sydney’s Town Hall in February.

It was these actions that has caused some ‘internal fallout’ with some of the charity’s board members, The Sunday Telegraph reported. 

‘I know of one board member who was particularly upset by her speech at the protest,’ one source said.

Another source said the aftermath of the protest, including a video of Tame insisting she would not be ‘silenced’, has caused further unease within the foundation.

Following the protest, Tame faced calls from a number of politicians and Jewish leaders to be stripped of her Australian of the Year honour.

She was the subject of a petition, signed by more than 25,000 Australians, which called for authorities to charge her with ‘[alleged] criminal incitement to violence under existing Australian law’.

On Friday, Tame claimed she had been the subject of a ‘concerted smear campaign’ by conservative politicians and media.

The foundation’s primary income was generated through general donations

‘I do not support violence,’ she wrote in a first-person piece for Crikey. ‘I do not condone antisemitism, Islamophobia or hatred of any kind.

‘I am a human rights activist who advocates for the safety of all children, no matter their background.’

She added: ‘I’ve lost several close friends for speaking the truth. I’ve been publicly vilified over and over and over again. In under a month, my livelihood has been completely destroyed.’

The charity, which began operating in 2022, was created to raise awareness and prevent child sexual abuse through advocacy, education and legal reforms.

In 2024, Tame announced she was stepping down as CEO of the foundation – the role remains unfulfilled.
