How To Seek Support From Philanthropists

Over the past few years, we have seen a growing number of Australians wanting to give something back to society.  In deciding where to give, they are likely to choose areas that are very close or personal to them.  For example, if a family member has bone cancer, the donor may feel passionate about finding a cure.

As a grant seeker asking for support for health and medical research, you can play a central role in helping these individuals and organisations achieve their philanthropic giving objectives.

Now is the ideal time for the health and medical research sector to develop a systematic approach to seeking support for high quality research from the philanthropic sector.

Research Australia Philanthropy launched our comprehensive grantseeking discussion piece, entitled Health and medical research: A guide to philanthropic grant seeking, at the AH&MR Congress on 20 November 2008. This guide will assist you in your philanthropic approaches.
