The Trustee for BARWON HEALTH FOUNDATION
Tips for Applicants
This is primarily a donor-directed giving vehicle rather than an open granting foundation. Most giving flows through named funds (like the Tulli Smile Fund) or event-based fundraising. For larger contributions, contact the foundation directly at 03 4215 8900. The foundation appears to be very localized to the Geelong region, so proposals should align with Barwon Health service needs. The website offers peer-to-peer fundraising for individual campaigns.
Giving Philosophy
Supports 'compassionate care for the people of our region' by directing donations to specific health service needs. Runs community fundraising events (Run4Geelong) and manages named funds where donors can target specific programs like music therapy for children. Emphasizes keeping donations local to Geelong region.
