Who We Are

Initially setup as the Bela Schwartz foundation in 2001 after the death of Bela Schwartz the previous year. The name was changed to The Schwartz Family Foundation in 2006 after Eve Schwartz passed away the previous year.

The foundation wishes to administer its bequeathments so that the benefactors of the donations can maximise their benefit. Currently the Foundation sponsors two Research/Lecturers of the University of Sydney/Dental Hospital.

Bela Schwartz Lecture Theatre

The Foundation has donated to the construction of the “Bela Schwartz Lecture Theatre” at the Oral health Faculty building at Mons Road Campus, at Westmead hospital. This lecture theatre was developed as the rest of the building was refurbished. Adjacent to it is a dental chair simulation lab, capable of housing 55 students at the same sitting. The lecture theatre holds a similar amount of students, thereby allowing briefing of those students using the simulation laboratory.
