2024 Christmas Appeal

Help Us Fund Lifesaving Medical Research

This Christmas, your gift will help us undertake the most comprehensive study ever conducted on the causes of HCM – a genetic heart disease.

When you choose to contribute to The Baird Institute, you’re making the choice to invest in the continued delivery of long-term, life-changing solutions – the kind of solutions that save lives and make a real difference to people living with chronic disease both now and in the future.

As a long established and reputable charitable not for profit organisation, The Baird Institute carries an Australian Tax Office approved DGR1 status, which means all donations in excess of $2 AUD can be claimed when submitting your annual personal or business taxation assessment.

You can make a secure, tax-deductible donation online:
