Donate to support our work caring for individuals and families in Australia and Overseas
Your donations are tax-deductible. We can share your contribution and support across many projects.
You can make a one-off or regular donation.
Your money goes to where it counts – not in administration
We want to work with others. We have a great responsibility to donors to ensure donations are effectively managed and project outcomes are achieved. To minimise costs, Board positions are voluntary, and where possible, we use volunteers in other roles.
Only fifteen percent of donations go to administration, allowing us to effectively deliver maximum impact from your generous donations, this is significantly lower than the average for most other charities in Australia.
Your money goes directly to where it is needed.

Your Impact
With your help, we’ve already achieved incredible milestones:
– Over 48,052 individuals supported through our charity partner programs.
– 36% more families supported in 2024
– Raised over $1m for safe housing, education and material aid in the last decade.
But there’s so much more we can do.
Together, we can reach even more people in need.

Here’s how we’re creating change together:
Programs: Empowering individuals through education, workshops, and community-building initiatives.
Resources: Providing food, shelter, and essential supplies to those in crisis.
Dharma Care is not reliant on government funding. For over forty years we have sought self-reliance through social enterprise.
