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.
Our Impact
In 1838, the Sisters of Charity landed in Australia. Their mission: to devote themselves to the poor and marginalised by providing compassion, hope and practical assistance.
Today the Sisters of Charity Foundation carries on their traditions.
