About the organisation
Founded in 1989, The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) Foundation is the fundraising arm of The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, one of the world’s leading children’s hospitals. The Foundation has the vital role of raising and distributing donated funds to the hospital. While a legally separate organisation the Foundation works closely with the RCH and its Campus Partners (MCRI and UoM) in achieving its vision. The people of Victoria love the RCH and in giving to the Foundation, whether through linked fundraising appeals like the Good Friday Appeal or Auxiliaries in their community, they feel a great ownership. As a result of this ownership and the fact that the Foundation is therefore a custodian of these donated funds, the Foundation takes seriously its role for and on behalf of those donors.
Generous community support helps to sustain the hospital’s role as international leader tackling some of the world's biggest health issues, and the Foundation supports a vast network of fundraisers and donors. Donated funds drive the hospital’s growth, are utilised for purposes of medical excellence, and support only the most innovative, life-changing programs and initiatives – that would otherwise not exist - in the areas of research, leadership, training, technology, equipment, and patient and family centred care.
Over the next few years, the Foundation will be building on its strong base to increase the funds raised and will focus on responding to the exciting challenges and opportunities presented.
