Make a Difference
How We Help
Every year, the Sisters of Charity Foundation is able to make a difference to thousands of people across the country with funds generously donated by compassionate Australians.
We support initiatives that receive little or no funding from other sources, that benefit disadvantaged, marginalised and socially isolated people in our community; no matter their religion, ethnicity, gender, age or ability. Join us in forging a society where anyone who experiences disadvantage or social isolation can count on swift, practical and compassionate assistance.
Community Grants
We provide grants of up to $15,000 to innovative community projects that break down social isolation and alleviate the impact of poverty on individuals and families.
Scholarships
We help disadvantaged young people from out-of-home care backgrounds transform their lives through tertiary education.
Support for Asylum Seekers
We are currently developing a new model to provide support services to people seeking asylum.
Housing for Modern Slavery Survivors
We partner with The Salvation Army to provide transitional housing assistance for survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking in Australia.
Community Care
We provide support to families in remote, rural and regional New South Wales and Queensland who have been badly affected by droughts, bushfires, floods and general economic downturn.
