The Common Good Foundation may be the catalyst for helping our community, but this is only possible thanks to our generous donors - people just like you. Your generosity, your giving heart, your kindness, your compassion, your desire to help those who are in need.
The concept is simple. Through the Common Good Foundation, individual donations are amplified to support charities that directly care for all of our communities. This is Catholic care in action.
If you would like to help others financially, then please allow us to support you in this. We are the bridge between those who can provide resources and those who require them. Facilitating your desire to improve the lives of others would be our privilege.
Who do we help?
Your contributions feed directly into our grants programme, helping to fund the organisations, community groups and parishes / individual Catholic churches who are doing good within our area. We actively fund causes that are focused on:
Improving the lives of vulnerable people
Families (safety, violence-free, basic needs)
Social Housing (homeless, advocacy)
Elderly (grandparents raising grandkids, loneliness)
Supporting development toward independence and autonomy
Promoting social justice
