Donate and you will make a difference
Our mission is to support and encourage culturally diverse community members to reach their potential. Many of our clients face challenges as they settle into a new community and our capacity to provide assistance where it’s needed most is greatly enriched by the generous financial support of others. Funds from donors are used to provide resources, activities, and opportunities which we would otherwise be unable to provide.
We are actively seeking donations for the following projects:
Digital Connection Support
Help us bridge the digital divide faced by people from migrant and refugee backgrounds and open doors to education and opportunity.
Access to technology is crucial for school engagement, employment, home learning, social connections and connecting with essential services. Unfortunately, newly arrived families from refugee backgrounds face significant challenges due to limited digital literacy and access to digital devices, often sharing a single phone among multiple family members.
We have partnered with Resource Work Cooperative (RWC) to provide refurbished laptops to graduates of our Digital Skills program.
How You Can Help
Device Donations: Donate quality used Wi-Fi-capable laptops and tablets with power cords and working batteries, that will then be sent to Resource Work Cooperative to be refurbished. (contact reception@mrctas.org.au)
Monetary Donations: Your financial support can help us purchase new laptops and tablets and cover the cost of refurbishment.
Donate to Digital Connection Support
Emergency Relief Funds
Donate to help us provide the support that every new arrival deserves.
Many new migrants from Humanitarian backgrounds have additional needs on arrival that are not covered by our funded programs, including medical expenses, clothing appropriate for the Tasmanian climate and heating.
With only a few doctors offering bulk billing, it is difficult for new arrivals to cover the medicare gap or pay for urgent medication, test or medical supplies. They may require support to access sufficient heating or warm blankets. MRC Tas is dedicated to easing their transition and helping individuals and families settle comfortably in their new homes. However, we need your support to make this possible.
We are asking for donations to our Emergency Relief Fund, which enables us to respond quickly to the urgent needs of new arrivals.
