Unforgettable gifts

From a hot meal for a hungry child to life-saving medical care for a new mother, a gift to the Fund brings joy and hope to Forgotten People across the world.

A special birthday, anniversary or landmark occasion deserves a life-changing celebration. Make sure yours has a lasting impact by donating in honour of someone else, or asking friends and family to donate as a gift to you.

Give an Unforgettable Gift

Donate in honour of a friend or family member, and they will receive a personalised, hand-written thank-you card, where they can read about the tangible difference that the gift will make.

Simply make your donation, and email us to let us know where to send the thank you card, and whether you would like to include a personal message.

Invite donations or make a larger gift

We can direct donations to the issues closest to your heart, help you set up JustGiving fundraising pages, and provide meaningful tokens as a gesture of thanks to you, and your friends and family.

Contact our team to explore how you could welcome the Forgotten to your celebration today.

This is Alina.

Every year since she was five, she has sent out beautiful party invitations, welcoming family and friends to celebrate with her, and directing them to a JustGiving page where they can donate in support of the Holy Family Hospital in Bethlehem instead of buying her a present.  She loves supporting the hospital because it cares for babies and new mothers in the hardest circumstances, wherever they come from.

Her kindness year-in, year-out has raised almost £9,000 to help it in its lifesaving work, leading the hospital to write to Alina personally to thank her for thinking of those less fortunate.  She also sends a thank-you letter to each of her school friends and family who donates, sharing information about the cause.  Her generosity has made such a difference, both in Bethlehem, and in inspiring us at the Fund. Thank you Alina!

The late Fra’ Richard Divall was a dedicated supporter of the poor and isolated throughout his life.

A renowned conductor, composer, musicologist and Professed Knight of the Order, Fra’ Richard Divall AO OBE actively supported Order projects both in Australia and across the world.

By leaving a gift to the Fund in his will, he has ensured that these life-changing projects can continue to care for those who need it most.

Investing in the future

As a recently retired managing partner of a law firm, Dunstan de Souza has always devoted time in both his professional and private lives to serving his local community and helping the most vulnerable.

Mr de Souza is a regular volunteer with Sydney’s ‘Coats for the Homeless’ initiative and an active supporter of the Order’s clinic in Timor Leste providing free medical care to mothers and children.

Now, Mr de Souza is continuing his valuable work by leaving a gift to the Fund in his will. “It’s about creating the kind of future we want to live in”, he says, “both for ourselves, and for the poor and the sick”.
