Philanthropy and major giving
The need in our communities is great
Across Australia, more people are facing complex challenges — including homelessness, family violence, addiction, financial hardship and social isolation.
Every day, The Salvation Army supports people in crisis with practical care, dignity and hope.
With your philanthropic investment, we can respond to urgent need, strengthen communities and create lasting change for current and future generations.
Informing your decision
Philanthropic giving is personal and often a long-term commitment. We provide the insight, transparency and information you need to make informed giving decisions aligned with your values and priorities.
Our effectiveness
Empowering people can be a gritty, difficult process and it takes time. That’s why we don't only assess effectiveness on output alone.
We are committed to improving the way we serve suffering humanity — and that means measuring impact — which gauges the real results of our programs.
Measuring impact. Building confidence.
The Salvation Army has partnered with the Centre for Social Impact to develop a Social Outcomes and Impact Measurement Framework across our social programs.
This framework helps us measure and communicate the impact philanthropy has on individuals, families and communities across Australia.
It also provides greater transparency, accountability and confidence for our philanthropic partners.
What we offer our philanthropic partners
- Clear and measurable social impact outcomes
- Transparent stewardship and regular reporting
- Invitations to exclusive briefings and events
- Partnership with one of Australia’s most trusted charities
- Opportunities to connect through Giving Circles and strategic initiatives
- A meaningful way to help create lasting social change
Creating your legacy
Whether giving personally, through a family trust, foundation or Private Ancillary Fund (PAF), our team can help align your philanthropy with areas of greatest need and impact.
We also invite you to consider a lasting legacy through The Salvation Army’s Endowment Fund, supporting innovative programs and long-term solutions for Australians facing hardship.
Named and Specified Endowment Fund opportunities are available. Contact us to request an Endowment Fund booklet.
We also encourage you to speak with your professional adviser about structured giving options, including a Private Ancillary Fund (PAF).
We can also provide copies of the:
- Private Ancillary Fund (PAF) Trustee Handbook
