The Sanctuary needs cash donations to operate.
It currently costs around $500,000 per annum to run our Shelter. We’re extremely grateful for the support of our partners Women’s Community Shelters who underwrite up to 50% of our operating costs. Nonetheless, The Sanctuary predominantly relies on financial donations to make up the difference.
Making a single or regular donation to The Sanctuary helps us continue our important work providing crisis accommodation to vulnerable women escaping domestic violence and homelessness. There are several ways to make a donation and all gifts over $2 are tax deductible.
The quickest and easiest way to donate is via GiveNow:

Bequest
The Sanctuary – The Hills Women’s Shelter is an Australian charity and non-profit organisation providing direct relief and support for homeless women and their children. Our Shelter is a safe, secure space for women and children who are homeless due to physical, emotional or sexual abuse, family breakdown, financial strife, domestic violence, mental health issues or lack of affordable housing.
Your bequest and other gifts help us maintain and improve our community’s response to female and child homelessness, domestic violence, mental illness and substance abuse across Sydney’s North-West.
Your Will is a very personal and private matter. Wanting to leave a legacy for vulnerable women is an amazing act of generosity and we thank you for thinking of The Sanctuary. However, we strongly advise that you seek qualified, expert assistance from a lawyer when putting your Will together.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about In Memoriam donations or Bequests. You’re always welcome to discuss your and/or your family’s wishes with our Deputy Chair, Paul Hargrave on 0417 446966 or paul@foxcheshire.com.au
