Think of giving not as a duty, but as a privilege. - John D. Rockefeller
You can support the mission and activities of the Rural Health Education Foundation through your tax-deductible gift. Donations of $2 and greater are fully tax-deductible.
Your donation will go directly to enhancing the quality and quantity of the Foundation’s educational programs for rural and remote health professionals as well as for rural and remote communities, supporting the improvement of community health outcomes. The Foundation provides programs via satellite television, other broadcast television services, webstreaming and webcasting through the Foundation’s website, ”enduring materials” such as DVDs and CDs, and new technologies as they become available and accessible.
For example:
- $3,000 will pay for the installation of a Rural Health Education Foundation satellite site in a remote Indigenous community health service so that the health professionals can access the Foundation’s programs
- $1,500 will pay for the installation of a Rural Health Education Foundation satellite site in a rural location
- $500 will allow us to provide a complete set of health educational resources to an under-funded rural or remote health service
