How you can help

The George Institute seeks to raise funds to support its strategic priorities. These fall into three key areas across our major centres in Australia, India, China and the UK.

  • People – research posts and fellowships to attract and retain world-class researchers
  • Programs – inspiring research programs to deliver lasting change
  • Infrastructure – buildings, equipment and core costs to deliver world-class research and programs
