Our vision is of a world where all people are free from extreme poverty, injustice and inequality and where the earth’s finite resources are managed sustainably. Our purpose is to lead and unite our members in action for a just, equitable and sustainable world.
Founded in 1965, ACFID currently has 126 members and 20 affiliates operating in more than 90 developing countries The total revenue raised by ACFID’s membership from all sources amounts to $1.89 billion (2021-22), $773 million of which is raised from over 1.149 million Australians. ACFID’s members range between large Australian multi-sectoral organisations that are linked to international federations of NGOs, to agencies with specialised thematic expertise, and smaller community-based groups, with a mix of secular and faith-based organisations.
