The Trustee For The L.D.S. Fast Offering Fund
About
The L.D.S. Fast Offering Fund is a charitable foundation associated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Australia. The fund collects Fast Offering donations from church members—typically the value of two consecutive meals skipped during fasts—and distributes these funds to assist individuals and families in need, both within the LDS community and the broader Australian community. It operates as a humanitarian and welfare program focused on providing emergency financial assistance for basic needs such as food, housing, utilities, and medical expenses.
Tips for Applicants
As this is a church-administered welfare fund, direct applications from external organizations are unlikely to be accepted. The fund primarily supports individuals and families referred through local LDS congregations (wards and branches) who assess needs within their communities. Those seeking assistance should contact their local LDS bishop or branch president.
