Our Culture
GIVIT is the smart way to give.
Through GIVIT.org.au, public and corporate generosity is directed to support vulnerable people and communities in Australia.
Working with thousands of community organisations, GIVIT ensures people get what they need when they need it most – whether recovering from a disaster event, or experiencing hardship due to circumstances such as drought, domestic and family violence, homelessness, disability, and mental health.
