From 1 November to Giving Tuesday, 1 December 2026, generous matching donors will triple every gift to Open Medicine Foundation Australia, up to $100,000 in total matching funds. It’s the most powerful way to support ME/CFS and Long COVID research all year.
Why this month matters
ME/CFS and Long COVID remain among the most underfunded diseases in medicine. The government has chronically underinvested, and the gap between what patients need and what gets funded is real. Private donors make the work possible. During Triple Giving November, they triple it.
OMF’s Collaborative Research Centres bring together leading scientists under a collaborative approach to systems research, a model built to find answers faster by ensuring no finding stays in a single lab. Every centre, every scientist, every result feeds back into a shared body of knowledge, so the science compounds instead of stalling.
Where your gift goes
Funds raised in Australia remain in Australia. Your gift supports Open Medicine Foundation Australia’s research program, including the Melbourne ME/CFS Collaboration led by Dr Chris Armstrong at the University of Melbourne, part of OMF’s global research network.
Questions about Triple Giving November
How does the match work?
For every dollar you give before the match closes, matching donors add two more, until the $100,000 matching pool is used. A $50 gift becomes $150 for ME/CFS and Long COVID research.
When does the match close?
Triple Giving November ends on Giving Tuesday, 1 December 2026.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Open Medicine Foundation Australia is endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office as a Deductible Gift Recipient and registered with the ACNC (ABN 81 635 273 415). You’ll receive a tax receipt by email.
Are there other ways to give?
Yes. See Ways to Donate for monthly giving and other options.
