Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry
About
Strength to Give, formerly the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry, is Australia's national not-for-profit organisation responsible for managing the registry of volunteer stem cell donors. They connect patients needing life-saving transplants with suitable donors, facilitating the donation process and supporting related medical research and education.
Tips for Applicants
Strength to Give (formerly Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry) is an operational charity that manages Australia's stem cell donor registry and conducts related activities. They are not a traditional grant-making foundation that accepts applications from external organisations for funding. Their funds are primarily used to run their own programs, research, and donor/patient support services.
Giving Philosophy
As an operational charity rather than a traditional grant-making foundation, Strength to Give's 'giving' philosophy is intrinsically linked to its core mission. They disburse funds to support the recruitment, registration, and health assessment of stem cell donors, facilitate the collection and transport of donated cells, advance medical research in transplantation, and provide essential support to patients and donors throughout the process, rather than making grants to external organisations.
