The following Donations have been made from the Parish Charity Fund in the Financial Year 2020-21:

MATCHING GIFTS PROGRAMME:
We conduct a “Matching Gifts” Program for selected Disaster Appeals on a needs basis. For example, in the event of a major tsunami, earthquake or drought, we will ask Parishioners to make their personal donation to a selected charity and send their receipt to the Parish Office. We will then match the total amount donated with a parish donation from our Charity Fund, effectively doubling the amount parishioners donate.
To date in 2020-21 we have not conducted any appeals. During 2019-2020 we supported the Drought Appeal and Bush Fire Appeal with over $50,000 contributed.
