Charities categorised under religion are mainly religious congregations. There are 5,567 in total in Australia.
Religious charities rely significantly on donations and bequests for revenue, rather than government support. Though there are significant differences based on charity size. Many are involved in many important activities to assist disadvantaged communities.
Many work within Australia but a significant amount provide support for communities outside Australia. Purposes including the sponsoring of disadvantaged children both inside and outside Australia and the eradication of poverty and injustice.
Religious charities span all major religions and a significant number of less well-known religions. They fill the gap in supporting their communities when private and government agencies can’t.
