Wondering how to have impact with GIVIT? Here is 4 common questions answered about how to donate
Where can you donate clothes in your area?
You can donate clothes to charities that support local communities via GIVIT. Unlike other charities, GIVIT is an online platform that provides donations to charities and groups registered with GIVIT. We connect people who want to give to those who need help. Charities across Australia, from women's shelters to youth homelessness services need clothes and furniture.
To discover where you can donate clothes or any household item, in your area, head to our What’s Needed list. To view donations needed in your area use our location filter (pictured below) to select your State or Suburb. Also, use our filter to select how you can deliver your donation if you have a preference.
Once you find a donation, click the GIVIT button and complete our online form with contact details. The charity will receive a notification, review whether your item is right for the person they’re helping and connect with you to organise the donation.
Donating to a request means you’re meeting immediate and genuine need in the community. It also reduces the risk that the charity may not need or have the resources to distribute your donation.
This is one of the reasons charities and community services love GIVIT donations. Read below the impact of giving pre-loved baby items to a Sydney charity via the GIVIT's website.
Today we received a lovely package that is going straight to a client of ours who is in need of clothing for a little girl. Thank you to this lovely donor which posted all the way from Queensland and also thank you to GIVIT for connect us.
How do you make a GIVIT online donation?
GIVIT is an innovative online donation website that is free for charities and donors! 100% of any public donation that GIVIT receives is used to purchase exactly what’s needed for people in need across Australia.
There are three ways you can make an online donation:
- Donate funds to a current appeal e.g. First Nations Support or Domestic Violence
- FUND a request from one of our charity partners via our What’s Needed list
- Offer a physical item; either towards a request or submit offer into our online warehouse for charities to reserve
The requests on our What’s Needed list are submitted by charities registered with GIVIT so you know you’re meeting real, tangible need that will make a big difference for someone doing it tough.
What does donating to a charity via GIVIT mean?
- you’re giving hope to a mum escaping domestic violence with nothing but her kids on her back
- helping a refugee family rebuild in a new country
- providing relief to a family who can’t afford groceries plus new school supplies
- ensuring a family can recover after losing everything they own in a natural disaster
- or you're helping any charity registered with GIVIT supporting vulnerable people.
