🎉 Update: Our first matching pool was fully exhausted on Thursday, June 26th! Thanks to some generous support from one of our donors, we’ve unlocked a second matching pool of $150,000 to continue doubling donations through June 30th.
Join us this June to help raise $2.25 million and amplify lifesaving impact
At the end of the last financial year in 2024 (EOFY), Australians like you stepped up, donating over $2 million to highly cost-effective programs.
🌟 As a result, we exceeded our annual fundraising average by $700,000 and our community’s 2024 giving is estimated to help more than 1.2 million people with improved health and economic opportunity, and about 670 lives will be saved.
📈 This EOFY, we need your help to beat that record and hit $2.25 million by June 30 — helping tens of thousands more children and families in need.
To help us get there, we’re offering a limited-time opportunity to double your donation thanks to generous donors. If you’re giving through EAA for the first time, or returning after more than 12 months, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar. See below for full details.
Double your gift — for new and past donors
🎁 Thanks to three generous matching donors, up to $250,000 in donations from new and returning donors will be matched this June — dollar for dollar, up to $5,000 per donor. If you haven’t donated with EAA since 31 May 2024, your donation is eligible for this match.
This offer is valid from June 1 through midnight June 30, or until matching funds are fully allocated.
💛 Your support this June could be the difference that saves lives and improves futures.
Matching terms and conditions
⏰ The matching offer is effective from 1 June 2025 until midnight AEST on 30 June 2025, or until all matching funds have been used.
The match applies to donations of up to $5,000 from new first-time or past donors only — defined as individuals who have not donated to Effective Altruism Australia Ltd. (EAA) since 31 May 2024.
Eligibility
First-time donors: Individuals who have never donated with EAA.
Past donors: Individuals whose last contribution was made before 31 May 2024. Please use the same email address used for past donations.
Where are the matching funds from?
🤝 Several generous donors have committed a combined $250,000 in matching funds. These funds will only be unlocked for EAA partner charities as match-eligible donations are made, ensuring that your donation directly triggers additional support.
When is the offer available?
📅 This offer starts June 1 2025 and ends midnight June 30 2025.
Who is eligible?
First-time new donors who have never given directly with EAA. This includes those who have supported EAA’s programs via Giving What We Can but are now making their first donation direct through EAA’s website.
Past donors whose last donation with EAA was made over 12 months ago. If you are a returning donor, simply use the same email address to donate as you have in the past and if your last donation was any time before 31 May 2024, your new donation will be doubled up to $5,000.

What your donation can achieve
Your donation will go to our high-impact partners delivering proven, cost-effective interventions such as malaria prevention, vitamin A supplementation, cash transfers, mental health support, and more, helping save and improve lives in the world’s poorest communities.
Every year, millions of children die from preventable causes—malaria alone takes around 425,000 young lives annually. By hitting our target, our partner charities can expand their reach and help protect even more vulnerable children and families around the world.
And at a time when tens of billions of dollars in aid are being slashed by governments, the support of individual donors like you is more crucial than ever.
🌍 Give effectively and impact lives
Together the 2025 campaign’s efforts will save lives, reduce emissions, and help to support children and families globally, making a real difference that goes beyond numbers to transform lives. Thank you for your commitment to effective giving.
