Fundraising

In Australia there are 20 registered charities who mention Down syndrome within their purpose. The Impact Suite would like to highlight the efforts of some of the micro sized charities who are doing impactful work to support people with Down syndrome and their families. These charities are at the coalface of support and only one has received government support with a small contribution of $6,000. The rest are completely self-funded relying on donations and other revenue.

People have been contacting the Prime Minister’s Office to find out other charities they can donate to. The Office has released an updated list of charities that can assist in the bushfire recovery effort.

In an effort to assist people wanting to donate more specifically to causes that meet their needs, the Prime Minister’s Office has released an updated list of charities that can assist in the bushfire recovery effort.

Bushfire devastated communities are scrambling to find assistance to essentials – whether that be items like generators, or services like care. With the rest of Australia (and the world) opening their hearts and wallets, a number of charities are set to benefit and help these communities immediately.
