Donors
We are honoured to have the support of 47,277 people who made single or occasional donations this year and we are especially grateful to our 92,635 regular givers. These generous Australians contributed almost $49 million to build stronger and more resilient communities.
Bequestors
People who leave a bequest to Red Cross are particularly special. This year we received $15.1 million from generous supporters who left a precious gift to Red Cross in their Will. This personal legacy strengthens our organisation and ensures we build strength and resilience in others for generations to come.
We sincerely thank the following supporters who gave generous gifts of more than $20,000 in their estates this year; and extend our deepest condolences to their loved ones.

Philanthropic partners
We greatly value the very generous contributions we receive from philanthropists and major donors. In the past year they have donated more than $2.7 million to support and strengthen people through Red Cross. The Syrian Crisis Appeal, Indonesia Earthquake and Tsunami Appeal, the Myanmar and Bangladesh Crisis Appeal and other programs in the Asia-Pacific region benefited from this funding, as well as our disaster relief and recovery work in Australia. This included support for drought affected farming communities and people affected by bushfires and floods.
The Society of Women Leaders is a dynamic community of committed women leaders and philanthropists, who support the Red Cross as a giving circle. In the past year they grew to 69 members and continued to excel in their philanthropic endeavours, raising more than $720,000 towards Red Cross humanitarian initiatives chosen by the members. The Society of Women Leaders mobilises the power of women in philanthropy to benefit the most disadvantaged in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the programs supported by the Society of Women Leaders during FY2019 included the Young Parents Program, the Aid Worker Program and the Indonesian Community Health Program.
