“I am incredibly proud of the work GIVIT has done to help millions of Australians in need. When creating GIVIT, my goal was to match generosity with genuine need. Since then, it has been truly heart-warming to witness the continual outpouring of generosity from donors, especially during times of disasters. Ensuring that generosity is directed to support people in genuine need, while protecting the dignity of recipients, has always been our priority.

I am also proud that GIVIT provides a smart way for everyday Australians to be deeply involved in the recovery of communities affected by natural disasters. GIVIT directs generous people to fulfil real needs, supporting local people and businesses, helping a community recover at their time of greatest need.

I am proud to say we continue to achieve that.”

It’s important to us that donations do no harm. Time and time again we see communities overwhelmed by well-meaning donations that are not needed, or not needed right now. Imagine a truckload of clothes dropped off to a street still soaked by floodwaters. Don’t laugh – it happens! Unwanted donations cause chaos for recovery agencies working to save lives. It means an intense effort is required to sort, store and ultimately throw away donations.

And that breaks our heart.

We don’t want your beautiful donations thrown away. We want them to help change lives. GIVIT ensures giving is coordinated, and reaches the people who need it.

If you donate funds, we promise 100% of your public donation received by GIVIT will be used to purchase essential items for people in need. How good is that!

Wherever possible, we buy locally. We support the local retailers who employ local people, provide opportunity and lifeblood to a small town or disaster impacted region.
