Now more than ever families and young people need our help
Your donation makes a real difference to children, young people and families who are experiencing homelessness, poverty, disadvantage, trauma or domestic violence.
Pathfinders is a registered Australian charity focused on helping people with limited resources. We are entirely dependent on government funding and public donations to deliver our services when and where they are needed.
With your support we can build a better future for vulnerable families and young people.
Thank you for your donation.
We could not provide the support we do without our generous supporters.
Pathfinders uses a secure payment gateway to ensure all donations are processed securely. If you would like to discuss your donation or need any more information, please reach out to the Pathfinders finance team at finance@pathfinders.ngo or call 5775 9800.
All donations are tax deductible.
