Donate
As an autonomous body, ERC is dependent on funding assistance from the community, currently we are funded though grants, donations & fundraising avenues. The generosity of volunteers and support from the local community can not be underestimated, however without continual funding our services is unable to develop further programs to meet the demands faced day to day in South Australian community. All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Edmund Rice Camps SA Inc is a not-for-profit, volunteer based, charitable organisation, every dollar raised goes towards providing our services to families.
