WCH Foundation Grant Applications 18/19

The Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation receives some donations for which the donor preference is that the funds be directed to a particular ward, department or purpose within the hospital.  Whilst these designated donor funds (DDF) are not made on the ‘condition’ that the funds be directed as specified, the WCHF is committed to following donor’s wishes for the allocation of funds whenever it is possible and practical. In 2018 the Foundation is wanting to disburse the funds currently available.

The purpose of these funds is to make a difference for families.
