Frequently Asked Questions
Which areas of St Vincent’s does the Foundation raise money for?
St Vincent’s Foundation raises funds to support the vital work of the network of St Vincent's public and private hospitals across Victoria. We also raise funds for major capital projects including the Caritas Christi re-development and for ACMD.
Why does St Vincent’s Hospital have to fundraise?
Our government funding provides for the essential items required to run a hospital. Through our shared fundraising and philanthropy efforts, we are able to purchase much needed additional equipment or services, which our government funding does not always stretch to cover.
When will we receive the funds raised?
Funds raised are dispersed on a monthly basis with any donation made in support of a specific purpose being transferred to the relevant departments Special Purpose Fund.
If I wish to raise money for my ward/department do I require Authority to do so?
Yes, by law, a Victorian fundraiser must have an Authority to Fundraise letter. St Vincent’s will issue this letter (sanction) once the application/event registration has been received and approved. Please note St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne will not approve any high-risk activity.
What do I do if I have a fundraising idea?
In the first instance contact a member of the Foundation Team to talk through your idea. We’re always appreciative of any fundraising efforts which will benefit our hospital and are keen to support you in any way we can.
