About

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.

Wealth Source:Mater Foundation raises funds through community donations, monthly giving programs, prize home lotteries, events such as fun runs and triathlons, bequests from wills, and corporate partnerships. As a corporate foundation linked to Mater Health, it leverages community generosity and fundraising activities rather than relying on a single wealth source.

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.
