St Vincent’s Curran Foundation
Philanthropy has been at the heart of St Vincent’s, ever since the Sisters of Charity opened the doors of their first hospital in 1857. Since then, the hospitals have heavily relied on voluntary contributions and community support to provide exceptional care to all.
The Foundation was established in 1984 in response to funding shortages at St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney and established a lasting endowment fund. 40 years later, this Foundation merged with the fundraising department of St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney and St Vincent’s Private Hospital Sydney to become St Vincent’s Curran Foundation, the fundraising group for all St Vincent’s Hospitals and Facilities in New South Wales.

In 1838, five Sisters of Charity travelled from Ireland to Sydney to help convict women. When the 1853 influenza epidemic caused a huge loss of life, the nuns decided to create a free hospital for all people, irrespective of wealth, race or religion. They secured enough community funding to build a 20-bed hospital. Today, the significant training and research activities at St Vincent’s continue to be supported by generous benefactors.
