WA has some very prominent philanthropists, detailed in our updated list of foundations, and there is a push to expand giving across the wider community.
The Royal Perth Hospital Medical Research Foundation is one of WA's largest philanthropic foundations; however, it's not as large as it used to be, and therein lies a story.
A $10.8 million liver cancer research centre has been established with donations from several philanthropic and research organisations, including $5 million from the Cancer Research Trust.
A series of cancer research projects led by the University of Western Australia has been awarded $18 million from the Cancer Research Trust and other partner organisations.
