THE MATER FOUNDATION

The Mater Foundation is the charitable arm of the Mater Public Hospital, dedicated to ensuring that every patient - and the families who care for them - receive the very best possible care. By mobilising individuals, community groups and corporate partners, the Foundation raises the funds that enable life-changing projects such as the St Anne's Dementia-Friendly Ward, Dublin's first dedicated Phase I Oncology Clinical Trials Unit (START), and care packs for homeless and vulnerable patients.

Through a range of giving options - from personal donations and fundraising events to tax-efficient corporate partnerships - the Foundation offers supporters clear pathways to make a tangible impact on health outcomes. Its programmes also celebrate the stories of patients and families, reinforcing the community spirit that underpins the Mater's mission.

Based in Dublin, the Mater Foundation serves the wider Irish community, channeling generosity into innovative services, specialised equipment and compassionate care that keep exceptional treatment within reach for everyone who walks through the Mater's doors.
