Be part of a bold new chapter in philanthropic impact

We’re entering an exciting new chapter at St John of God Foundation. Guided by our new Operational Plan, the next three years will see us build on strong foundations and take bold steps forward — and we want the right people with us on the journey.

Our work will be shaped by three key priorities:

• Donor Journey – creating more meaningful, high-quality experiences for our supporters

• People First – supporting and empowering our caregivers, now and into the future

Together, we’ll focus on delivering a series of major capital campaigns and growing our successful national fundraising program. These are ambitious plans — and they represent a rare opportunity to be part of something truly transformative. If you’re excited by purposeful work, meaningful change, and being part of something bigger — now is the time to join us.
