Help us support more research
There are many ways others can help us fulfil our purpose all whilst achieving theirs:
Donate
Donations can be made directly by individuals, from organisations and foundations or via giving instruments such as Private Ancillary Funds (PAFs). The National Foundation for Medical Research and Innovation is a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) and is recognised as both a Tax Concession Charity (TCC) and a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR item 1).
NFMRI is able to set up a special purpose sub-fund with a donor-nominated disease or condition as a focus area for donations of $500,000 or more. For more information, please contact us.
Gift-in-Will
Leaving a gift in your Will is an important and special way of ensuring you are able to make a difference for decades to come
Most of us have either directly or indirectly experienced the debilitating effects on health resulting from diseases or medical conditions. At NFMRI, we believe that our funding is best placed in advancing medical innovations in order to help accelerate the speed at which products and cures can be brought to the hands of those in need.
If making a difference in the lives of others and improving the future is important to you, leaving a gift in your Will is one way to assist you to achieve these objectives. While we understand the delicate subject nature of bequests, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss your goals, motivations and passions, and learn more about you and your family to ensure your legacy is carried out in a way that completely resonates with you.
Benefits of making a gift to NFMRI in your Will include:
- Supporting medical research that advances innovations and enables collaborations;
- Choosing to nominate preferences for:
- diseases or conditions you are passionate about;
- the type of innovation, and/or
- the stage of research that is supported.
- Rigorous due-diligence processes and value-adding activities to maximise potential impact from your gift;
- Leveraging your gift with others to make a substantial and sustainable contribution towards medical research;
- The opportunity to engage with the Foundation through our events, along with nominated family member(s);
- Communication and engagement with your nominated family member(s) or representatives on how your gift has been making a difference;
- For large gifts, the opportunity to create a named fund exists (please contact us for a confidential discussion);
- Acknowledgement on our website, publications and annual report (if desired); and
- The ability to demonstrate your values through your philanthropy and inspire your family to get involved in a cause you are passionate about.
Ask us to help you
Some organisations with common goals may find it difficult and inefficient to establish expertise, networks and systems. NFMRI can engage with other organisations and grant makers to assist them in our particular area of expertise.
Provide pro bono and in-kind support
Pro bono or in-kind support that adds value to our supported research projects or helps us deliver our mission is always welcome. If you would like to discuss how your corporation may partner with NFMRI and its research projects please contact our CEO, Dr Noel Chambers.
