Philanthropy
We are fortunate to enjoy the support of many visionary individuals, trusts and foundations, and organisations who are working with us to shape the future of eye care in a transformational way.
We truly appreciate the generous support of individual philanthropists and grant making organisations who’ve given gifts to support innovative research, education and care to improve people’s sight.
Your generosity has enabled us to create opportunities for Moorfields Eye Hospital and its research partner, the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology.
Recent projects
Thanks to philanthropic gifts, we’re supporting innovation in research, patient care and training which is making a difference to patients at Moorfields and worldwide:
Investing in emotional and practical help
We support patients at Moorfields though the eye clinic liaison service which gives patients confidence, advice and connects them with others. It offers emotional and practical help to patients coping with sight loss. We are grateful for the support of the Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Charitable Trust.
