General Donations

You can donate online by going to our web site: wwwsuqld.org.au

A huge boost of funding from the federal government in 2007 saw the number of SU QLD chaplains jump from 200 to 510 within a very short time frame. However, the funding has gone directly to the schools to employ chaplains. Which means that employing authorities like SU Qld have to raise their own funds to provide the critical infrastructure that the system relies on. Also, the government funding is only seed funding. We have to rely on our own fundraising effort to ensure that we remain viable. Please support us today and ensure chaplains and SU QLD remain in schools so we can bring hope to a young generation!
