Tips for Applicants

Align proposals with the foundation's core focus on vulnerable women and children in education, food security, shelter, and economic empowerment. Organisations working in domestic violence prevention, early childhood education, or crisis accommodation in NSW, or with partner communities in the Philippines, Kiribati, or Timor Leste, are well-positioned to seek support.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation is guided by Catholic social teaching and a commitment to addressing economic and social inequality through direct service delivery. It prioritises vulnerable populations—particularly women and children experiencing domestic violence, poverty, and housing insecurity—providing practical support (meals, education, shelter) alongside pathways to independence and dignity.
