The Kinghorn
Foundation

We are a private philanthropic organisation dedicated to advancing medical research, expanding educational opportunity and supporting initiatives that strengthen communities.

Founded by John and Jill Kinghorn, we provide funding, scholarships and other support to empower people, create opportunities and advance knowledge.

Our work spans medical research, opportunities for talented young people, education initiatives and programs that support community wellbeing. We work alongside organisations and individuals committed to delivering thoughtful, responsible and lasting progress.
