Tips for Applicants

As this foundation operates through a dedicated partnership with WEHI's Brain Cancer Centre rather than an open grant program, direct funding applications are not available. Organisations seeking partnership should demonstrate alignment with their mission to end brain cancer as a terminal illness and propose collaborative research initiatives.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation partners exclusively with The Brain Cancer Centre at WEHI to fund dedicated brain cancer research, focusing on translating research into treatments and ultimately finding a cure. It values community-driven fundraising and corporate partnerships to maximize research funding.
