Your donations are incredibly important! You give the right help, at the right time, to people who really need it. | Support organisations registered with GIVIT use your donations to fill real, and often urgent, needs in their communities. | Your donations do no harm, and don't overwhelm charities on the ground... especially in times of disaster. | Donations through GIVIT help reduce landfill by diverting tonnes of reusable items to support individuals and communities. | We spend 100% of money received on essential needs and 'buy locally' so businesses, often rural, also benefit from your donation. |
Now that's the smart way to give!
We hope you enjoy reading some of these heart-warming stories below, about donations making real and positive differences to the lives of Australians in need. You’ll discover how a single donation, given the smart way, can change a life forever. Enjoy!
