GIVIT is the smart way to give to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia experiencing hardship.
Through GIVIT, you can direct your generosity to change someone's health and wellbeing outcomes. Donating a laptop can help a child keep up with school assignments, giving nappies to a mum off work due to illness will help the family redirect grocery money to healthier food for their kids, donating new pillows will help a family set up in a new home after leaving a violent relationship.
Listed below is exactly what is needed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples doing it tough right now, including fridges, toiletries and laptops.
The list changes as requests are filled, and new needs are identified by support organisations providing essential assistance services. 100% of publicly donated funds received by GIVIT for this appeal will be used to purchase essential items identified by support organisations working directly with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia.

Our Reconciliation Action Plan
GIVIT's vision for reconciliation is a culture that represents equity and equality and embraces respectful relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider community.
GIVIT launched its first Reconciliation Action Plan (Reflect) in November 2021. It's centred around increasing respect for, and improving relationships with First Nations communities, and creating opportunities for future partnerships in addition to the more than 830 organisations we currently work with to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in need.

About the artwork
The artwork used on this page and in our Reconciliation Plan represents GIVIT as the tree. The hand prints are the men, women and children this organisation has helped empower in Australia in the past, present and future.
This artwork was created by Charmaine Barratt, an Aboriginal woman who has lived in the Ngunnawal community since the age of 4. She is currently a Team Leader/Support Worker at the Ngunnawal Bush Healing Farm.
From the sea and freshwater country to rainforests, mountains and desert country, this is how we're supporting Indigenous Australians.
