Fundraising
Where do the funds I raise go?
You will be raising funds for Jesuit Mission, which will be used to support the programs run by our Jesuit partners overseas.
Our programs break cycles of poverty through teaching and education, protect the well-being of communities by providing medical care and programs that improve access to clean water and toilets, develop independent, strong communities through livelihood training and income-generating projects, and provide vulnerable individuals with pastoral care, social inclusion and advocacy.
How do I raise funds?
Our top fundraising tip is to ask your family and friends to support you. The best ways to fundraise are to:
- Send emails to friends and family
