The Bishop Manning Support Fund (BMSF) assists families in genuine financial need by helping to cover some of the additional costs associated with education, including the cost of school and sports uniform, school shoes, school bags and additionally for secondary students, a learning device such as a laptop. Funds are granted equitably based on genuine need and the number of students able to be supported is limited by public donations received.
Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese covers the operating expenses of the Fund so that 100% of all donations go to fund recipients.
This arrangement assists schools in accommodating financially disadvantaged families.
Our ability to assist children from disadvantaged families is limited in accordance with donations that the Fund receives from the public and our Education staff.
Your support will enable us to assist more families in our local communities and assist us in our mission of providing inclusive experiences of Catholic education and driving positive change in the communities we serve.
Donations can be made via direct debit or credit card on a weekly, fortnightly monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half yearly and on a yearly basis.
Thank you for your generosity
