How you can help

The George Institute seeks to raise funds to support its strategic priorities. These fall into three key areas across our major centres in Australia, India, China and the UK.

  • People – research posts and fellowships to attract and retain world-class researchers
  • Programs – inspiring research programs to deliver lasting change
  • Infrastructure – buildings, equipment and core costs to deliver world-class research and programs
“I am so delighted to have helped…towards those who might otherwise have died without this opportunity.” -Affordable kidney dialysis donor

We have a number of programs in need of philanthropic gifts, grants and donations, from disruptive technologies to the prevention of diabetes in China and India.

The George Institute applies the highest levels of transparency and accountability to all our programs so our supporters can feel confident their gifts are being used according to their wishes.
