The CatholicCare Foundation was established in 2002 to provide financial assistance to CatholicCare’s welfare work and other like-minded charitable organisations. The directors of the Foundation wanted to create a funding base to ensure the work of CatholicCare will continue long into the future and also support the one-off projects and charitable organisations.
About CatholicCare:
Founded in 1941, CatholicCare Sydney is the official welfare agency of the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Sydney. It provides services to all people regardless of religion, or ethnic background and needs an independent funding base to sustain and develop its work.
