Tips for Applicants
Samaritan's Purse Australia is primarily an operational charity that directly implements programs or works with established partners, rather than offering open grant programs for unsolicited applications. Individuals or organisations seeking assistance should look for specific program outreach or partnership opportunities, rather than general grant applications.

Rooted in Christian principles, their approach is to provide emergency relief, medical care, food, water, and shelter to those in crisis, coupled with evangelism and long-term community development projects. They aim to demonstrate God's love by meeting critical needs and promoting sustainable solutions.
