Canberra Hospitals Foundation
About
The Canberra Hospitals Foundation is a charitable organisation dedicated to supporting Canberra Health Services, encompassing The Canberra Hospital, Centenary Hospital for Women & Children, and other ACT public health care sites. It raises vital funds to enhance healthcare delivery, improve patient outcomes, and support the well-being of the ACT community.
Tips for Applicants
As a hospital foundation, most funding is directed internally to support projects within Canberra Health Services. External applicants should monitor their website for specific campaigns or partnership opportunities, but generally, there are no open grant rounds for external NFPs. Prospective internal applicants (from Canberra Health Services) should consult internal processes for project funding requests.
Giving Philosophy
The Foundation's core philosophy is to directly improve public healthcare services in the ACT by funding critical needs that fall outside standard government budgets. It operates with a theory of change that by securing and deploying community donations, corporate partnerships, and fundraising efforts, it can provide essential medical equipment, advance life-saving research, support staff development, and enhance patient experiences and amenities, thereby directly benefiting patients and the broader community.
