Major Supporters

This invaluable support helps The Foundation to reduce costs, operate more efficiently and grow our services, so we can work even harder to restore sight and change lives.

Everything that The Fred Hollows Foundation achieves is only possible through the incredible generosity of our supporters - those who give of themselves so that others may have a better life.

Whether they be individuals, volunteers, corporations, philanthropists, families, workplaces or service clubs - every dollar donated to The Foundation ends up making a real difference to someone's life. That's because for as little as $25, sight can be restored in many countries in which we work.

A sincere and heartfelt thank you to:  

The Foundation would like to thank the various trusts and foundations who have generously supported us in the past and recent years. Your support is very significant and enables us to provide vital services to more people in need.
