Where Your Money Goes

The Geelong Hospital Appeal has been set up to allow donors to choose where they would like their money to go. Individuals or groups who make a pledge can direct their money to a particular area or service within Barwon Health or allow the Barwon Health Foundation to put the money where it is needed most.

Contributions can therefore be put towards a service that you as a donor have empathy for such as Cancer Services, the Children’s Ward, Special Care Nursery, The McKellar Centre, Cardiology or Renal Services.

Currently, the new Emergency Department at the Geelong Hospital is the fundraising priority for the Geelong Hospital Appeal with $3.6 million required to bring the new facility to life. Donations that are not designated to a specific area are used by the Foundation to purchase pieces of vital equipment for the facility that will ensure the very best treatment for incoming patients. Pieces of equipment purchased on behalf of individuals or groups are tagged in recognition of our donors.

All monetary donations over $2.00 to the Geelong Hospital Appeal are fully tax deductible.
