Charitable Trusts and Foundations play a vital role by providing funding for equipment, life-changing medical research, and improved healthcare.
Over the years, St Vincent’s has been fortunate to have received hundreds of thousands of dollars of support from Trusts and Foundations. This support has enabled the advancement of cutting-edge research and it has benefited our staff and patients directly by facilitating the upgrade of out-of-date medical equipment. We are also extremely grateful to the Trusts that support our important clinical activities and work in the community to improve a client’s quality of life.
“Philanthropic trusts and foundations play a critical role in the funding mix for St Vincent’s. These valued partnerships often last many years, enabling programs to successfully develop from an idea to ultimately changing lives.”
Sue Parkes - CEO, St Vincent’s Foundation Victoria
