GET INVOLVED

So Much Hope to Give

There is so much hope to give, and so many ways to give it. From making a single donation to becoming a monthly donor — or simply praying for the many children and adults we serve — your support has a great impact on our mission.

Gratitude For Our Donors Who Have Helped Make A Difference

How Donations Are Allocated

funding

FijiLIFE is committed to being completely transparent with you. From every $1 gift, 87c goes straight to our Fiji Charities and others in need to provide education and medical care, poverty alleviation, student support for sports in remote villages, and to those who have no other hope. As little as 13c is set aside for the cost of raising funds and overhead expenses.

Where does the money come from?

Most of our donations come from regular people who generously give whatever they can, as small or as large as that amount may be. Money donated to FijiLIFE Foundation comes from many areas of the community, including individuals, organisations, and wills and bequests.

Hope • Love • Service To Change Lives In Fiji

Let’s band together, uniting our efforts and energies to make Fiji, our shared home, a better, brighter, and kinder place for all its inhabitants. Better is coming… We have the power, as a collective, to make significant improvements, to bring hope, love, and service where there’s darkness, and to spread kindness where there’s despair.

This goal, while ambitious, is not beyond our reach. It’s not an easy task, but with our shared efforts, it’s achievable.

We fully understand and appreciate that times are hard. We know the world is facing challenges, and everyone is involved in their battles. However, every single dollar you can generously gift to us will act as a catalyst, propelling our mission forward. Each dollar is a step towards our goal, getting much-needed help to those who are in desperate need of it, those who are often left unnoticed and unheard. Your contributions will also fuel our efforts in creating lasting positive change that will reverberate through family generations.

Every contribution to our cause, regardless of its size, holds immense value. Whether it’s a small or large amount, your gift counts. It’s a testament to your belief in our cause, your faith in our ability to make a change. So thank you in advance for your generosity.

Your support is not just monetary; it’s moral encouragement, a beacon of hope for those we serve. Your invaluable support for FijiLIFE Foundation is more than just a donation. It’s a partnership, a shared dream of better living, better life for people in Fiji.

Together, we can make great things happen. Together, we can transform lives. Together, we can be the change we wish to see in the poor, disadvantaged, and needy people in Fiji.

Your belief in us, your support for us, strengthens our resolve and fuels our passion for hope, love, and service. Let’s join hands, work together, and create a Fiji that we can all be proud to call home.

Why you should tell others how much you donate to charity

The decision to donate to a philanthropic cause is often not made in isolation, but the result of a social process, says Dr Pamala Wiepking, Professor Civil Society and Philanthropy of Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM). From seeing or hearing about the donations of others, people not only learn that this is something positive you can do with your money, it also teaches them how pleasant it can be to contribute to charity.

First, seeing others get a warm and fuzzy feeling about themselves after ‘doing good’ can be inspiring and lead people to copy this behaviour. But donating also lets people come across as ‘pro-social’ and caring about others, a desired quality that increases social status, Wiepking continues.

Culture of Philanthropy

All in all, charities would benefit when people discuss when and how much they donate. Silence about this topic can be traced back to the protestant religious heritage. In this tradition, you typically don’t talk about income or wealth, and the matter of donating to charity was something between ‘you and God’. If we want to create a more open culture of philanthropy, we must overcome this hesitancy and start talking to each other about our donations, Wiepking concludes.

FijiLIFE Foundation will gratefully acknowledge all gifts received. Gifts can also be made by direct bank transfer to CommBank, FijiLife Foundation Limited, Account: 06 4430 11630430. An official receipt will be issued on receipt of amount transferred.

How Donations Are Used

Gifts to FijiLIFE are directed to registered charities and others in Fiji to support significant projects to relieve the sickness, suffering, misfortune, education, or poverty of people in need.

Our Public Benevolent Institution (PBI) places particular focus on projects for charities who have signed an MOU with FijiLIFE Foundation.

All FijiLIFE projects need to:

  • Be compliant with Australian tax law
  • Address one or more of our causes
  • Meet the well-researched needs of the group being assisted
  • Be demonstrably sustainable in the long term

Projects must be evaluated and reported upon after completion, to ensure compliance with these requirements and to confirm that the funds have been used as agreed. Our large donors receive copies of these reports. FijiLIFE Foundation will ensure that projects undertaken in Fiji are compliant with Australian tax law.
