Other Ways To Donate

Set-up monthly donations

Giving regularly has a greater impact—so if you already donate intermittently to one or more of our highly effective partner programs, consider setting up a monthly donation. Simply select “Monthly” in our donation form, choose where you would like your gift to go, enter the amount and your details, and click Donate. You can cancel or update your monthly donation at any time. For instructions, please see our FAQs.

Take a Pledge

You can have an astonishing impact by donating to effective charities.

You can have a lasting impact if you make a commitment to give effectively and consistently.

Over 10,000 people across the world have taken a Giving What We Can pledge to donate a meaningful portion of their incomes to improving the lives of others. We find a pledge helps for three main reasons:

...

Run a personal fundraiser

Turn your next big life event into an opportunity to make a difference. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or wedding – or taking on a challenge like a bike ride, marathon, or fun run – you can create a personal fundraiser to support our highly effective partner charities. Invite friends, family, and coworkers to donate in your honour and help transform lives. It’s an inspiring way to turn your special occasion into something even more meaningful. You can get inspiration and set up your personal fundraiser page via our friends at Giving What We Can.

Join our June and December campaigns

Take part in our end-of-financial year and festive season campaigns and help introduce others in your life to effective giving! In June, we often run a matching offer for first-time donors – a perfect moment to enlist friends, family or coworkers while their donations go even further (and if you’re a five- or six-figure donor interested in counterfactual matching, we’d love to hear from you).

Our December campaign is all about gifts that give back: select “this is a gift for the festive season” to donate in someone’s name, and we’ll create a personalised Christmas card explaining the impact of your gift and the power of effective giving.
 

Make a bequest

Making or changing your Will to include a gift to Effective Altruism Australia could be as simple as contacting your legal advisor. Alternatively, you can use an online option to create a simple Will. We’ve partnered with Gathered Here, a leading end-of-life services site, who offer a free and simple step-by-step online Will writing service. It takes less than 10 minutes to write your Will.

Workplace giving or partnerships

Giving through your workplace is a simple, tax-effective way to support our highly effective partners. By donating pre-tax through your employer’s workplace giving program, your donation goes further—and Effective Altruism Australia can be found on any leading workplace giving platform. If your business is interested in partnering with us or one of our recommended charities as part of your corporate social responsibility or charitable giving program, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can create a lasting, high-impact partnership.
