expand_more expand_less

While we receive some funding from the state and federal governments, more than 80 per cent of our income comes from the general public. We have a number of fundraising programs, and it is thanks to loyal supporters at various levels that we are able to continue our work.

Regardless of the size of the financial commitment, our donors’ assistance remains vital in helping to achieve our ultimate goal of a future without heart disease.

What percentage of HRI's income comes from government grants?

Our state-of-the art research has enabled us to win a number of very competitive research grants. As a not-for-profit organisation, we generate the majority of our funds from the general public via our fundraising campaigns. Currently we receive about 15-20 per cent of our income from grants.
