The Royal Children's Hospital Foundation Limited
Concentration RiskGiving Philosophy
The foundation's giving philosophy is centred on supporting the RCH and its campus partners (MCRI and University of Melbourne Department of Paediatrics) by funding initiatives that go above and beyond the hospital's day-to-day operations. They aim to deliver exceptional patient and family-centred care, foster research for new treatments, acquire advanced equipment, invest in leadership, education and training, and support regional Victorian healthcare services.
Tips for Applicants
Applicants must be RCH, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI), or University of Melbourne Department of Paediatrics staff. The process requires an Expression of Interest (EOI) approved by a relevant Chief / Executive Director. If the EOI is successful, a full proposal will be invited. All proposals must be endorsed by the RCH CEO for consideration. MCRI and University of Melbourne applicants should seek internal approval from management at least six weeks prior to intended submission.
