Mater Foundation Ltd as trustee for the Mater Foundation
Concentration RiskAbout
Mater Foundation is a large Queensland-based health foundation that raises funds to support Mater's extensive network of hospitals, a world-class research institute, and a nationally accredited education provider. The foundation's mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of the Queensland community through compassionate care, medical research, and education. It supports patients and families across Queensland, with particular focus on cancer research, breast cancer, and chronic illness.
Giving Philosophy
Mater Foundation approaches its giving by raising funds from the community through various campaigns and distributing them to support healthcare, medical research, and education programs at Mater facilities across Queensland. The foundation values compassionate care, medical excellence, and community impact, directing funds toward patient care, groundbreaking research, and health education initiatives.
Tips for Applicants
Given that Mater Foundation primarily raises and distributes funds for its own Mater health network, external grant applications may have limited relevance. Approach by aligning with their specific health priorities such as cancer research or patient care programs, and emphasize how the proposed initiative would benefit Mater patients and the Queensland community.
