How to find the best charities to give to

Ultimately, the best charities to support are those you’re passionate about. Whose causes do you support and know are worthy? Charities registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC) are also the best charities to give to. Being registered with the ACNC means they are legitimate and regulated.

Other factors to consider when choosing the best charities to support include:

  • Make sure the charity is transparent about how it allocates funds from donations

  • Look into how the charity ensures it is accountable and stays accountable. Do they have policies in place to ensure they conduct the work they do ethically and truly making a difference? 

  • Find out if the charity is a member of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) and that they’ve signed the Code of Conduct.

Why ours is one of the best charities to support

Donating to charities that help children are some of the best charities to give to, and here’s why. Without proper support, healthcare, education, connection, protection and even safe places to play, this can have a long-lasting impact on a child. Every child should have the opportunity not only to simply survive - but to thrive, To reach their full potential - they are our next generation.

Many children around the world do not have access to necessities such as food, shelter, water and healthcare. Many are at risk of harm - abuse, neglect, exploitation or violence. When disaster strikes, children are the most vulnerable. We know this from decades of providing emergency aid to children and their families. Children need our help. They aren't able to provide for their needs on their own. So if you’re looking for one of the best charities to give to, donate to a charity that supports children. You will help save children's lives, give hope for the future and enable children to have a safe and happy childhood.
