NHS Tayside Charitable Foundation holds endowment property and funds for purposes relating to health services or research.  The activities and projects are funded by donations and legacies received from patients, their relatives, the general public and other organisations. 

The vision of the charity is to help people in Tayside live better for longer and this will be done through a new funding programme distributing funds to NHS Tayside services and the third sector, fundraising to increase the impact of the charity and wraparound support offering partnership opportunities, advice and collaboration.
