Fueling Critical Care with Community Support

The Foundation is the registered charity dedicated to ensuring that STARS has the essential funding needed, on top of our government funding, to fully fuel our operations.

Our Foundation is powered by skilled, passionate teams who play a vital role in driving our mission forward and making a real difference in the communities we serve. STARS is built by the community for the community, and the Foundation’s efforts are a testament to this collaborative spirit.

Building a Stronger Future Together

Together, we work to raise funds through donations, sponsorships, grants, and investments to fulfill our mission of providing critical care, anywhere.

We are committed to diversifying funding sources, achieving fundraising revenue targets, and expanding our donor base to ensure STARS remains a vital lifeline for those in need.

Our commitment to improvement and innovation drives us to continually pursue new ways to excel, with the goal of being a leader in the registered charity sector.
