Donations
There are a number of ways to make a financial donation:
As a not-for-profit we continue to rely upon the generosity of our network to help us. In addition to grants received the financial donations enable us to work at keeping our course fees at a level that many can achieve as well as providing us with the capacity to provide financial support for men who find the course fees outside of their current financial situation.
Any donations over $5.00 are eligible for a tax credit at the end of the financial year. For more information on how your donation can keep on giving click
The four most common areas for donation are:
-
GEN : for general expenses and future planning for the Trust
-
MBR : for sponsorship for men to attend the Men Being Real weekend course
-
PIF : paying it forward for future workshops
-
PATH : for support of the Pathways programme including sponsorship
You are able to make financial donations by:
