Only 3% of young people who are unable to grow up at home safely with their birth parents pursue education after high school, compared to 40% of other young people. We give financial support so our scholarship recipients can afford study expenses such as course fees and textbooks, as well as the cost of living on their own with no parental support.

We’re here for everyone in need: The Sisters of Charity Foundation funds programs and initiatives that support people who are marginalised or living in disadvantage, no matter their gender, ethnicity, age or ability.
Measurable and proven results: Since the year 2000 we’ve granted more than $9.4 million to over 970 community-based programs across Australia that receive little or no funding from other sources.
We work collaboratively: We believe in partnering with other organisations to provide assistance where it’s needed most. One of our most rewarding partnerships has been with the Asylum Seekers Centre, assisting with the upkeep of Providence House, which provides emergency housing for asylum seekers.
Real people, real stories: We regularly publish case studies and stories from program participants, giving you the best possible insight into where your donation goes.
