Our donors

Our donors are caring, compassionate people who believe in caring for their neighbour, just as Jesus taught us.
As Jesus reminded us in Saint Matthew’s gospel: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Love your neighbour as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”
Why I choose to support the Catholic Caring Foundation
Thank you Elizabeth for sharing why you support the Catholic Caring Foundation.
“Being a more hands-on ‘action-orientated’ person, with a strong desire to put into practice my deeper belief in caring for those in need (a big part of my Catholic upbringing), I was a bit stuck for what I could do to help when I returned to New Zealand some years ago.
Why stuck? Despite all the will in the world, I was not one of those with the innate ability to provide hands-on care in the experienced, skillful, practical way that is required in cases of desperate need.  That ability is a real God-given gift, and those with that gift need support around them from the rest of us.
Discovering the Catholic Caring Foundation and the types of organisations it funds and supports, gave me my own kind of ‘active’ way of helping changes lives, within my Catholicism, through making my donation to the CCF every month so that the remarkable work can continue.”
Can you join our community of givers and help families and
communities in the greater Auckland area receive care and support?
Through your support, and other loyal supporters, we’ve been helping families and communities in need since 1988, but we need your support to continue to meet this need. The demand for our ‘Caring Grants’ continues to grow every year. Can you help us keep up with this demand so that families and communities who need care and help in times of hardship and poverty can access help and support?
