Making a Donation
Here at Who Cares House donations are critical for our operation. So we always appreciate when someone wants to donate some of their hard earned income to help keep us going. Read below to learn more about how we are funded, why we need donations and how you can help us.
About Our Funding
Currently our two main funders are The Community Organisation Grants Scheme (COGS) and Lottery Grant Board, although we are extremely grateful for their help as we couldn’t operate at all without their funding, sadly it doesn’t cover all our costs and is limited in what we can use it for.
For example, our Food Bank isn’t funded by either COGS or Lottery Grant Board, neither of them have funds for Food Banks. In fact food in general isn’t funded, so even all the lovely and welcoming morning teas at the Community House are provided from donations from the public and these are just two examples.
There is a lot more we can do with more funding and the only reliable way to get it is with donations from the public. We all can get annoyed with every organisation and their dog asking for yet another donation, but for us, it really is critical to our continued operation and is directly tied to what we can and cannot do.
How to Make a Donation
