As a Priority Project Sponsor your regular tax deductible donation supports Plan's priority development projects in countries throughout Southern & Eastern Africa and Asia. Priority projects supported through Priority Project Sponsorship often require specialised involvement from Australian program managers, have specific short to medium-term objectives and target communities where projects cannot be funded by sponsorship.
By contributing as little as $25 a month you can be part of real change for communities in Africa and Asia.

Regular contributions through Priority Project Sponsorship means Plan can commit to both long and short-term projects with our local country partners.
Your contributions ensure all projects are adequately resourced and able to achieve their goals within the timeframe agreed to with communities. -
How does Plan decide which priority projects to undertake?
Plan priority projects are developed by program staff from Australia and our in-country partners after consultation with community members including women, men and children. Together with Plan staff, community members set their development priorities.
Initial studies and assessments are undertaken to ensure the projects are sustainable and reach their development goals. Proposals are then developed, including project goals, objectives, monitoring, evaluation, budgets and timeframes. Once funding sources are agreed, Plan staff, partners and communities then begin to implement the project. -
