We are thrilled to announce that after years of dedicated effort, Spiritual Health Association (SHA) has been officially granted Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status by the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC). This marks a pivotal milestone for SHA, reflecting both the trust placed in us as an organisation and our commitment to fostering spiritual healthcare and wellbeing across Australia’s health sector.
Securing DGR status opens a range of opportunities that allow us to broaden our fundraising initiatives. This means we can now accept tax-deductible donations from our generous supporters, ensuring we have the financial means to expand our impact and continue advocating for high-quality spiritual care services. With the upcoming launch of our new donation platform, we are eager to collaborate with our community and supporters to raise funds that will support projects aimed at enhancing spiritual care across the health system.
At the core of our mission is the unwavering belief that every person, regardless of faith or spiritual beliefs, deserves access to compassionate, responsive spiritual care tailored to their unique needs. This milestone not only strengthens our capacity to deliver on this mission but also solidifies our position as a trusted and impactful organisation within the health sector.
However, while this development provides a tremendous boost to our sustainability efforts, we must also take into consideration that SHA will be forced to cease trading in its current form by 31 December 2024.
This news underscores the urgency of our fundraising efforts as we explore new avenues to continue our vital work. We remain committed to working with our partners and supporters to explore potential transitions or collaborations that will allow SHA’s legacy to endure well beyond this year.
We are grateful for your continued support and look forward to embarking on this new chapter together.
Join us in making a difference today – your donation can help ensure that the essential work of SHA continues to thrive.
