At GIVIT, we’re always looking for ways to make giving faster, easier and more rewarding.
As Australia’s leading needs-based giving platform, we use technology to connect generosity with real need. Every improvement we make is focused on helping you easily support people in need.
Our donors have told us they want a quicker and easier way to support multiple people, causes, requests and appeals in a single visit.
So we’re excited to launch one of our most requested website improvements – a new shopping cart that brings all your giving together in one place.
For the first time, you can donate money to multiple appeals or requests, give items to requests or the online warehouse, and volunteer your time and skills, all in a single transaction.
Instead of completing multiple donation processes and entering your details again and again, you can now add everything to one cart, check out once, and review your donations before you submit them.
We think it’ll make a big impact on the way you give, and how much support we can provide to people in need.
3 great things about GIVIT's new shopping cart
1. Give your way, all at once
Sometimes you want to help in more than one way.
You might want to donate money to a bushfire appeal, and while browsing GIVIT.org.au, be inspired to also donate money to a request for groceries for a mum and kids living in a domestic violence shelter.
While you’re donating a dining table you no longer need, you might see a request for a weekly English teacher for a refugee family that matches your skillset and schedule.
Now, you can do all that in one go. Our new shopping cart brings together all the different ways you can help people through GIVIT, making the experience feel more like the online shopping you're already used to.
2. Help more with less effort
One of the biggest improvements is the ability to fund multiple requests in one transaction.
See several requests you’d like to support? You can easily add them all to your cart.
Whether you’re funding a house full of furniture and essentials for a bushfire-impacted family, or providing groceries for several different people affected by homelessness, you can now make multiple financial donations to multiple requests in one seamless session.
That means less time navigating pages and filling out forms, and more times focusing on the stories, causes and communities that matter to you.
3. Built from donor feedback
Donors have consistently asked for an ecommerce-style shopping cart that allows them to combine and complete different donations together.
The new shopping cart is a direct result of your feedback, and part of our ongoing work to improve GIVIT.org.au and your experience as a donor.
Smarter giving starts here
Our new shopping cart is another example of how we're using technology to make giving simpler and more effective.
Whether you're giving an item, funding requests, supporting an appeal or volunteering your time, you can now do it all from one cart, in one session, with one checkout.
This change will improve the giving experience for donors, and make a difference for the people they're helping
