Tips for Applicants

For individuals or groups looking to fundraise, the foundation encourages creating an online fundraising page, personalizing it with photos and stories, and sharing it widely on social media, email, and through personal networks. They also suggest contacting local businesses for support. For specific fundraising ideas or to direct funds to a particular area of Darling Downs Health, potential fundraisers should contact the events team. Staff of Darling Downs Health can find specific application processes for funding, grants, and research through the DDH Staff Hub.
