Philanthropy

As a private ancillary fund, trust, foundation, individual, family or couple, your major gift and philanthropic investment will help transform medical research and human health in Australia and beyond.

Contact us for a confidential conversation to discuss your interest, any specific requirements you have, the best way to make a donation for your needs and opportunities available for major donors.

Crowdfunding

With the high calibre of medical research in Australia many excellent projects that could improve people’s health do not receive grant funding from traditional grant giving agencies on their first submission. The chances of major funding are increased if robust preliminary data or some key steps in the overall program are presented. Crowdfunding can help turn a great idea into a major medical advance.

Donations can be made via contacting us if one wishes to discuss specific projects or check out the research at the University of Sydney Crowdfunding website where we usually have some projects listed.
