Advancing our future

"The Victorian College of Pharmacy Foundation builds on the pride and goodwill of graduates from the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences by seeking the philanthropic support of alumni, key industry stakeholders and friends. Since its establishment in 2001 it has raised almost $5 million donations that have been used to establish the Endowment Fund. The Foundation supports the faculty to retain its position as one of the significant pharmacy schools in the world."

Alistair Lloyd, Chair, Victorian College of Pharmacy Foundation.

The Foundation was the initiative of graduates, current and former staff and the founding group consisted of Alistair Lloyd AO RFD ED (PhC 1956), Professor Colin Chapman, then Dean (BPharm 1970), Neil Naismith AM (PhC 1958), Pam Nieman [decd] (BPharm 1970)], Bill Scott (BPharm 1970), Professor Peter Stewart, Dr Geoffrey Vaughan AO, past Dean and John Ware OAM (PhC 1950). It is supported by a substantial operational fund that provides sufficient resources for self administration ensuring that the full amount of any donation is used for the purpose for which it is gifted.

The Foundation supports a number of programs. Its current fundraising focus is three Excellence projects that aim to invest in Excellence in Pharmacy Education, Excellence in Pharmacy Practice Research and Excellence in Pharmaceutical Science Research.
