What We Stand For

GIVIT aims to address people experiencing hardship including:

The 3 million Australians living in poverty¹,
The 47% of Australian adults experiencing financial hardship²,
The 1 in 6 women who have experienced physical and/or sexual violence from a partner³,
The 1 in 6 children living in poverty⁴,
The 70% of Australians impacted by natural disasters⁵,
The 1 in 5 people aged 16-85 experiencing a mental illness in any given year⁶,
The 122,000 people experiencing homelessness⁷, and
The 5.5 million Australians with disability⁸.

Our mission is to use technology to match generosity with genuine need

We do this by connecting donors who want to give money, goods or time, with charities and organisation seeking material support for the people they’re helping.

From school shoes to ensure a mum escaping domestic violence can enrol her kids at a new school, to a new hot water system enabling an elderly couple whose home burned down in a bushfire to have warm showers during winter, or an online English tutor to help a recently arrived refugee to get a job – GIVIT brings donors and people doing it tough together, with the potential to change lives through one act of kindness.

What else is important to us?

Transparency

The GIVIT platform allows donors to see exactly where their donation is going by choosing the request or cause they would like to give to.

Sustainability & the circular economy

We divert useable goods from public and corporate donors into the hands of people doing it tough, ensuring it doesn’t end up in landfill.

Supporting Australia's hard-working charities

With more than 4,900 partner charities across the country, using GIVIT to access essential goods and services helps organisations focus on what they do best – helping people.

Responsible giving

Unrequested and uncoordinated donations can do more harm than good. This is particularly the case in disasters where unsolicited donations can often hamper recovery. GIVIT ensures people get exactly what they need, when they need it.

Dignity, safety and self-empowerment for people in need

Through GIVIT, people doing it tough are given the dignity and independence of asking for the exact goods or services to suit their unique needs and circumstances.
