The organization focuses on the dignity, equality and inclusion of people experiencing poverty and marginalisation, with a particular emphasis on women in Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

Tips for Applicants

Prospective grantees should demonstrate alignment with Anglican Overseas Aid's focus on partnership-based approaches, gender equality, and sustainable community development in Africa, Asia-Pacific or the Middle East. Applications should emphasise local leadership, measurable impact, and alignment with Christian values of justice and dignity for all.

Giving Philosophy

Anglican Overseas Aid works in partnership with local organisations in the Global South, emphasising mutual transformation and long-term development over short-term aid. The organization prioritises climate justice, gender equality, and building safer, more inclusive communities while connecting Australian donors with impactful overseas work.
