Nazareth House is a Non-profit Organisation that incurs operating expenses, which are far higher than the revenues generated through ‘Board and Lodging’ fees and ‘Government Grants’ received. This is due to the subsidisation of child and elderly care, supporting outreach projects, and community work.
The organisation is wholly reliant on the income of donations, legacies, and ‘goods in kind’ to continue the mission. All donations, grants, and other incomes area a necessity to fulfil the shortfall and to ensure the sustainability and longevity of the organisation.
Caring for all the residents in our Nazareth Houses, young and old, as well as the communities we assist via our outreaches, comes at an exponential cost. Donations, bequests and fundraising are not guaranteed amounts and the challenge to raise funds is becoming continually arduous yet evermore demanding.
Nazareth House is a registered non-profit organisation(NPO 038-257) and a recognised Public Benefit Organisation (PBO 930 002 374). What began as a humble dream for change has become a place where the most vulnerable in our society find sanctuary, love, and hope for a better tomorrow.
