Your gift helps local children in need
Through your support to the Mary MacKillop Brisbane Catholic School Access Fund, you provide an opportunity for children to be embraced by a supportive and caring Catholic community at a time when life at home is difficult.
Families who apply for a MacKillop Fund Bursary come from all walks of life, with different experiences of extreme hardship, trauma and financial devastation. What they share in common is a deep desire for their child to receive a Catholic education.
This is an important aspect of the MacKillop Fund – together we provide students with a supportive and caring Catholic community. A ‘family’ that encourages them to reach their potential despite the adversity they face in their home lives. Through your kindness, you help lift families in trauma and despair into opportunity.
Thank you for your generous gift

A legacy of inclusive education
“These bursaries are funded through charitable gifts from mums and dads, parishioners, and the faithful. All of us working together to ensure this Fund can work in the poorest parts of our Archdiocese, where it serves destitute families in crisis and gives children the chance to see their education through a Catholic lens.”
