Fundraising

Give where you live.

Run Your Own Event

Do you have a desire to give back to the community you live, work and play in?

Do you have an event you have been longing to organise?

Are you inspired by the work of our local healthcare industry and would like to ‘give back’ in some way?

You can do all of this by running your own community event whilst receiving additional support/advice from the Foundation staff/directors.

Funds donated and raised from events are invested and the income generated from these investments is used to fund special projects at the Horsham and Dimboola. Funds raised from your event will always be working for the Horsham and Dimboola hospitals.

Please read the Fundraising Guidelines here.

Socialise for the cause.

Friends of the Foundation

Join the Friends of the Foundation – The Friends of the Foundation (FOFz) committee is a fundraising arm of the Wimmera Health Care Group Foundation. It is an active, enthusiastic and committed group of volunteers. The FOFz have raised over $300,000 for the Foundation since they commenced in 2011.

Leave a legacy.

You can remember the Foundation in your will with a bequest or you may choose to make a gift of life insurance.

Your lawyer, accountant, or financial planner can assist you to determine what kind of planned gift would be best for you, your family, and your estate.

You can be assured your instructions will be adhered to by our Board of Directors through our strict governance policies.

Alternatively you may use the following suggested wording for inclusion in your will. “I give the sum of $……to the Wimmera Health Care Group Foundation and I direct that the receipt of the Administrator or other proper officer of the Foundation shall be sufficient discharge for my trustees.”

Promote the cause.
