Transform lives through major giving

By making a gift, you play a vital role in changing lives, whether by breaking cycles of poverty, restoring hope to the marginalised, or creating opportunities where none existed. 

We believe in the profound impact of transformative giving. Our team would be delighted to start the conversation with you, and align your interests and values with meaningful projects. Working together, we can turn compassion into action and create a legacy of tangible, life-changing impact.

A major gift is more than a donation, it is a commitment to making a real difference. Our Major Donor Team is here to work with you closely to ensure your generosity supports the areas of our work you care most about.

How to make a major gift and become a partner with us

If you are considering making a major gift, we recommend contacting our Major Donor Team directly. We will work with you to find a Salvation Army project that matches your interest and values.
