Mission Fund was founded on 16th April 1984. It is a lay Catholic organization set up with the aim of assisting all Maltese missionaries. At present over 200 missionary stations in about 40 countries from Albania to Zimbabwe receive regular donations of € 3,000 on a roster basis, while the Maltese Bishops in Kenya, Brazil, Honduras, Libya and Albania each receive € 5,000. An additional donation of €1,000 is given to all Maltese priests and bishops to offer mass for the repose of the late Mission Fund benefactors. Maltese missionaries use donations to build schools, clinics and shelters for the homeless, to buy medicines, pay hospital fees and maintain vaccination programmes, and to better the lives of so many persons living below the poverty line.

Mission Fund has been enrolled as a philanthropic voluntary organisation in accordance with the Voluntary Organisations Act, 2007 (Act No XXII of 2007) and its name has been entered in the Register of Voluntary Organisations (Registration Number: VO/0015).
