About

The Barwon Health Foundation is the official fundraising arm of Barwon Health, a major regional health service in Victoria, Australia. It raises funds to support essential medical equipment, innovative research, patient care programs, and facility upgrades across Barwon Health's network, primarily serving the Geelong region and wider southwest Victoria.

Tips for Applicants

As a hospital foundation, the Barwon Health Foundation primarily directs funds internally to Barwon Health departments and projects. They do not typically offer open grant programs for external organisations or individuals. Engagement would typically be through making a donation or participating in their fundraising campaigns.

Giving Philosophy

The Foundation's philosophy is centered on enhancing healthcare outcomes for the community by enabling Barwon Health to deliver world-class medical services. It achieves this by soliciting donations from individuals, corporations, and community groups, directing these funds to critical Barwon Health projects, equipment, and research initiatives that directly benefit patients and staff.
