“The easiest money to get is project money but the most valuable and most effective is helping an organisation grow and scale.”

— Rob McLean, Australian philanthropist

Philanthropic support allows us to build capacity in our teams, strengthen partnerships with communities, and champion the next generation of researchers who will carry forward our vision. Importantly, it enables us to tackle the unique and complex challenges of tropical health with confidence and innovation. From preventing infectious diseases to improving maternal and child health, philanthropy provides the flexibility to respond quickly, test new ideas, and pursue solutions that create real-world change where it’s needed most.

This support does more than advance science—it strengthens communities, empowers local leadership, and helps ensure that people in remote and tropical regions receive the same opportunities for good health as anyone else.
