Why choose Anglican Aid?

Why choose Anglican Aid?

Anglican Aid connects Australian Christians to local Christians overseas who are serving those most in need. We help our supporters and implementing partners to bring Word and deed together where it will make the biggest impact – sharing Christ’s love alongside sharing food with the hungry. This is why Anglican Aid is the right choice for Christians moved to generosity towards people in need overseas. 

We are Gospel-driven.

Anglican Aid was  founded by Sydney Anglicans beginning nearly a century ago with Archbishop Howard Mowll. Our staff and project partners profess an authentic faith in Christ. As an organisation embedded in the Sydney Anglican Diocese, we remain firmly aligned with reformed evangelical theology. 

 

We are trustworthy.

Anglican Aid is accredited by the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC) and a member of Christian Ministry Advancement Standards Council (CMASC). Our finances are independently audited annually by KPMG and published on our website. Anglican Aid’s board is appointed by the Synod of the Diocese of Sydney, and reports to Synod.

 

We take stewardship seriously.

Over the last three years, Anglican Aid spent 87% of overall donations on our overseas projects, and 13% on ensuring Anglican Aid continues to raise funds and build partnerships, while meeting the highest compliance and communications standards. When you give to Anglican Aid, your gift is really making a difference to the most needy in our world. 

We help those who are most in need.

Anglican Aid strategically focuses on the poorest nations on earth where the local church is lacking resources to train their leaders and show practical love to their neighbour. Following our Heavenly Father’s heart for the widow, the poor, and the alien, we work in places where those in most need are often forgotten, persecuted, or considered to be cursed. Our partnership model allows us to help in areas where other NGOs may be unable or unwilling to work.

 

We strengthen churches. 

By 2050, Africa will be home to more than 1 billion Christians! Yet most pastors in Sub-Saharan Africa have not received training, and many don’t even own a Bible. With your support, Anglican Aid is strengthening churches by helping to train church leaders where they’re urgently needed, and improving or establishing new Bible college facilities and upskilling lecturers. By strengthening local church leaders, who are deeply embedded in their own communities, Anglican Aid is able to make a bigger difference for the long term. 

 

We help local Christians transform communities.

You can be sure your gifts are sent in the name of Jesus, and distributed by faithful brothers and sisters who share Christ’s love as they provide aid and run long-term development projects in their communities. Many of our projects are delivered through Anglican churches, with oversight from Dioceses and Provinces, which provide scale, governance, and structure for lasting impact, and give access to their broad geographical reach.
