The CorriLee Foundation is an organisation with a difference. Founded and run by the force of nature that is Tanya Lee, the CorriLee Foundation specialises in staging major events (think stage show extravaganzas, variety shows, dance parties, celebrity tennis & golf days and everything in between) and connecting good causes with the right benefactors. Tanya uses her expansive connections and unusual charm – along with a good solid dose of hard work – to bring existing charities and the people who want to support them together.
To date The CorriLee Foundation has raised over $500,000 to assist organisations including the Mirabel Foundation, SANE Australia, Animals Asia, SHINE for Kids, Educating Africa, Dying for Dignity NSW, Share the Dignity, The Boomerang Festival, Rally 4 Ever, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Prostate Cancer Foundation Australia, Black Dog Institute, and Motor Neurone Disease Australia and Kids Helpline (yourtown), to name just a few.
The main current project is the No Laughing Matter Podcast Series . The website was launched in early May 2021. The podcasts relay real life stories of incest, narrated by known Australian comedians and media personalities. This is a topic very close to Tanya’s heart. Along with hoping to raise more awareness on this important topic, we also have a CTA for a specific, government-funded, and managed, 24-hour counselling service, tailored exclusively for incest victim/survivors (current and retrospectively). We also hope for a plan for better education, cultural change, and a safer community for all children. Funding for such counselling and education would help tackle this shocking problem and ensure a lessening of the alarming statistics of abuse. We ask you to follow our podcasts – nolaughingmatter.org.au
The No laughing matter podcast is proud to be associated with Un silence si bruyant ( Such a Resounding silence ).
A French documentary where EMMANUELLE BĖART wishes to lift the veil on incest.

“Corrie Frances Lee, an ordinary Australian, my grandmother and my hero”
– Tanya Lee, Founder, The CorriLee Foundation
The CorriLee Foundation owes its name to Tanya’s grandmother, Corrie Lee, a person whose virtues our organisation aims to emulate and inspire in others. Virtues such as: perseverance, determination, optimism, generosity, kindness and commitment. Corrie raised a family while her husband was at war, ran her own business in an era when this was not expected of women and endured the loss of a limb without losing her zest for life and her generosity to those around her.
