Tips for Applicants

Applicants should demonstrate how their project aligns with funding cutting-edge equipment, vital research, or on-the-ground support for children's health. Emphasise impact on sick and injured kids across Queensland and northern NSW, and how it addresses identified gaps in paediatric care.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation values making a tangible difference in children's health by funding critical gaps in equipment, research, and direct support services. It prioritises initiatives that contribute to world-class paediatric care, aiming to help 'every kid' across its operational regions, regardless of their condition or location.
