The Florey Medical Research Fund welcomes bequests and gifts of all sizes to expand its ability to fund medical research now and in the future. 

The bequest or gift may be a specified cash amount, stocks, shares, or other securities, property and real estate, or goods. Unless otherwise directed, bequests and major specific gifts are capitalised and protected against inflation so that income derived meets the donorsí original wishes, which can never be undervalued. 

Research is conducted into every type of illness and treatments as well as related areas such as pain control. 

Donors are welcome to nominate any type of research to benefit from their gift or bequest. It can be nominated generally (e.g., "cancer research"), or specifically (e.g., "breast cancer research"). 

Only research projects of the highest merit and relevance are funded and all must be recommended or approved by the Research Committee of the Department of Health Sciences of Adelaide University. 

All are conducted within The University's Medical School and its teaching hospitals. In the case of a significant donation or bequest, a separate capital fund can be established and named in honour of any individual, family, or company. 

The capital will be preserved forever and interest derived from it used to fund the area of research nominated. 

The Florey Medical Research Fund is happy to arrange assistance with the preparation of a will and meets any costs required for the preparation of a standard will that contains support for The Florey Medical Research Fund.
