Our supporter promise

Garvan scientists couldn’t complete their research without the incredible support of people in the community.

Garvan scientists couldn’t complete their research without the incredible support of people in the community. We value each and every one of our supporters, whether they’re a donor, volunteer, fundraiser or leave a gift in their Wills. Your trust is important to us, and that’s why we make this promise to you.

Communicating with you

  • We will be professional, respectful and sensitive to your individual needs
  • We will give you the choice of when and how we communicate with you – and you can change your mind at any time
  • We will provide accurate, clear, consistent and honest information
  • We will always respond to your queries promptly and professionally

Accountability

  • We will steward your donations responsibly, and use them to have the greatest impact on medical research
  • We will share with you how your support is helping
  • Clear financial information will be made available yearly via our Annual Report
  • We may decline a donation if we feel accepting it would be unethical or may damage our reputation – if we do, we will be willing to explain our reasons why

Fundraising and privacy
