The Curran Foundation is a public fund providing fundraising support to St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney.

The Curran Foundation was established in 1984 in response to funding shortages for public health services on the St Vincent’s Hospital campus. Responding to how the shortage of discretionary funding compromised patient care, staff morale and clinical innovation, the Foundation sought to create an endowment whereby financial support could be provided in perpetuity to the Hospital.

Curran Foundation grants have helped pioneer life-saving procedures and ground breaking treatments for some of St Vincent’s sickest patients. The Foundation’s investment in research has given hope to future generations, whilst funding support for patient facilities has provided comfort and dignity to people in their time of need.

To date over $15 million in grant funding has been provided by the Curran Foundation to the St Vincent’s campus incorporating St Vincent’s Hospital campus including St Vincent’s Hospital, St Vincent’s Private Hospital and the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.
