Our Mission / Objective
The RCH Foundation raises money to enable the hospital to provide the best care for its patients and their families. We enable the hospital and its campus partners to pioneer research and new treatments, providing state-of-the-art equipment and supporting leadership. To review the RCH Foundation 2013/14 Annual Review, visit http://bit.ly/rchfiog.
Our Services
The RCH Foundation was established 25 years ago to fundraise, manage and distribute funds, to provide continued support to the hospital in its ambitions.
Our Beneficiaries
The RCH Foundation’s focus is helping the RCH improve the health and wellbeing of children and adolescents through leadership in healthcare, research and education. However, our work not only affects the patients that stay at the RCH, but the families and loved ones that join them on their journey through the hospital.
Projects in Progress
Our support of the hospital focusses on four key areas, in line with the RCH’s strategic direction:
- Research — discovering cures and transforming the future of paediatric healthcare;
- Leadership, education and training — investing in the best people and the brightest minds; Equipment and technology — acquiring the most advanced tools for the best outcomes;
- Patient and family-centered care — providing holistic and compassionate care. Information on projects we support within these key areas is published in the following places:
- Online — RCH Foundation website, Facebook and Twitter; Publications — RCH Foundation annual report, Impact of Giving, and monthly enewsletter.
