Lending Association is proud to announce its new Diamond Partnership with the St Vincent’s Curran Foundation, as the Foundation marks 50 Years since the first bone Marrow Transplant in Australia. This marks an important step in the organisation’s ongoing commitment to supporting community wellbeing and advancing healthcare in Australia.
The partnership reflects Lending Association’s belief that strong communities are built not only through business success, but through meaningful contributions to the institutions that care for people when they need it most.
CEO Steve Bourne said the partnership represents a natural alignment between the organisation’s values and the vital work undertaken by St Vincent’s.
“We are incredibly proud to partner with St Vincent’s as a Diamond Partner,” Bourne said.
“Their commitment to innovation in healthcare, research and patient care has an enormous impact on the communities they serve. At Lending Association, we believe businesses have a responsibility to contribute positively to the communities around them and this partnership reflects that belief.”

The announcement comes as Lending Association continues to strengthen its presence in sectors that support essential services, including healthcare professionals and medical organisations across Australia.
Head of Partnerships Tim Mannah, who has been instrumental in developing the relationship with St Vincent’s, said the partnership represents an opportunity to create long-term impact.
“This partnership is about more than sponsorship, it’s about alignment with an organisation that plays such an important role in the health and wellbeing of Australians,” Mannah said.
“We are proud to stand alongside St Vincent’s and support the work they do for patients, families and the wider community.”
The partnership was celebrated at a St Vincent’s event in Sydney last night, where members of the Lending Association team joined, CEO, Shanthini Naidoo, supporters and partners of the hospital, including special guests Delta Goodrem and Sunrise presenter Edwina Bartholmew.
The evening provided an opportunity to celebrate the work of the foundation and connect with many of the individuals and organisations who contribute to its ongoing impact.
For Lending Association, the partnership reinforces a broader commitment to supporting initiatives that improve lives, particularly those focused on health, community and long-term social impact.
As the partnership develops, Lending Association looks forward to working closely with the St Vincent’s Curran Foundation to support important projects, research initiatives and community programs that continue to make a meaningful difference.
