What We Do

Fostering Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange

We believe that working together is the best way to change outcomes for patients and families. As such, we support projects that focus on partnerships between funders and stakeholders, and share their lessons learned nationally and globally.

The Graham Boeckh Foundation is a funding organization and is not in a position to dispense or offer clinical advice of any kind. Please contact your family physician or go to the hospital’s emergency ward if you are concerned about any aspect of your or someone else’s mental or physical health. GBF accepts requests for funding proposals by invitation only. The Foundation’s philosophy is to strategically lead and fund projects that will have a transformative impact on the communities we are serving.
