Thematic Giving is a Game Changer
Six Areas of Focus
We believe the Foundation’s historical and current focus on singular major projects is inadvertently causing us to leave money on the table. While we have been very effective at raising money for projects like equipping the ICU, we know there are many donors for whom this did not resonate.

Where to focus became part of our strategic planning, and many lively debates followed, leading to the following six areas of focus for the foreseeable future:
Support for Indigenous Healthcare is a theme woven through all we seek to support.
