Why give regularly?

Becoming a Childhood Partner is one of the most powerful ways to help.

  • Regular giving is easy and convenient. Your donation is automatic, and you can change or pause it at any time. Once you’re happy, you can set it and forget it.

  • Your regular donation as a Childhood Partner multiplies your impact! A donation of $25/month becomes $300/year. A donation of $25 every 4 weeks becomes $325/year. That translates into a lot of support for families and young people who need it!

  • Your ongoing support provides a reliable source of funds to help children and families as they heal from trauma and build a strong foundation.

  • Your giving as a Childhood Partner reduces the costs of administration so more of your donation goes to support our programs and services.

Being a Childhood Partner means you’re part of a caring community helping to empower children and young people to be their best.

If it wasn’t for MacKillop, I wouldn’t be where I am today, managing money, paying bills and rent on time, linking me with services to help me, and a lot of mental support. With MacKillop, I really got a boost into life. I had a place to stay and they gave me and my family some space. MacKillop was like a stepping stone to the next chapter of my life.
