Tips for Applicants

The Mary Potter Foundation primarily acts as a fundraising body for palliative care services, rather than offering open grant programs for external applications. Support is directed internally to the Mary Potter Hospice, Palliative Home Care Service, and Calvary Cancer Services. Individuals and organisations can support their mission through donations, bequests, and participation in fundraising events like the 'Walk for Love' and 'Loving Tree Carols Concert'.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation's mission is to inspire people to share its belief that caring for people at the end of their lives is an honour and a privilege, and to work together to support living every day, every hour. They operate with values of being good stewards, having an attitude of gratitude, being lively and joyful, and committing to learn and grow. They are deeply committed to respecting donors and making their contributions enable their mission.
