Honouring A Lifetime Of Kindness

Frank Montagnese Foundation

Who We Are

Gabby Montagnese, established The Frank Montagnese Foundation, to honour the wonderful life and legacy of her late father.

His kind, loving and generous nature provides the vision and inspiration for the Foundation to create a world in which all people feel safe, happy, healthy and able to reach their full potential.

The Foundation invests in preventative programs and initiatives for healthy relationships and provides funding for a multitude of programs including lung cancer research, mental health, kids’ programs, homelessness and sporting programs.

These contributions embrace and support the Foundation goals of supporting the community by:

Strengthening social and emotional wellbeing of young men and women to ensure they develop positive relationships with themselves, each other and their children.
Providing safety and refuge to those people who have experienced family violence and working alongside them to help them rebuild their lives.
Helping and supporting families with the growth and development of their children, from babies through to teens and young adults.
Supporting innovative lung cancer research and treatment to deliver life-changing outcomes. These goals are guided by the values of trust, courage and respect – values that were central to Frank’s life and are vital to the integrity of our Foundation.
