Our impact

Since our inception in 2009, GIVIT is proud to have facilitated the donation of almost 9 million goods and services to people experiencing hardship, working with almost 5,000 charity partners around Australia. This includes communities who have been devastated by a natural disaster, families who have escaped domestic and family violence or individuals experiencing homelessness or living with a mental illness or a disability. Every donation has a big impact on someone doing it tough.

How GIVIT works

Help starts here

1. Person in need

A person in need connects with a local charity registered with GIVIT to request essential goods or services.

Connecting donations to real need

2. Charity Partner

The charity checks the GIVIT online warehouse for available donations that will assist their person in need. If there are no matches, the charity registers the request on GIVIT.org.au.

GIVIT have been amazing. Don’t know how my clients would have coped without your program’s support and the vouchers provided.
