A Perfect Human
Remembering John McCann.
He was a friend for life, he was just the perfect human.
The John McCann Foundation provides vital financial and emotional support to members of the arts community facing serious illness, injury, or life-threatening health crises, ensuring they can focus on recovery and well-being.
Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for those who enrich society through artistic expression, by providing them with essential assistance during their most challenging times.
Our Vision is to be the recognised cornerstone of support for the arts community, known for creating a future where health crises do not silence artistic voices but instead inspire greater well-being and creative resilience.
Our Values
Compassion
We believe that providing support must always be rooted in deep empathy, respect, and non-judgment. We approach every individual with kindness, understanding the stress and vulnerability associated with serious illness and injury.
Dignity
We are committed to protecting the privacy and self-worth of every artist we serve. Our support is delivered discreetly, recognizing that the artist's focus should be on recovery, not on the strain of public need.
Integrity
We operate with the highest standards of transparency, honesty, and accountability. We are responsible stewards of the resources entrusted to us, ensuring every dollar directly serves the foundation's mission.
Community
We recognise that artistic expression enriches all of society. We are dedicated to upholding the vitality of the entire arts ecosystem by supporting its most vulnerable members, thus preserving the voices that inspire us all.
