About GiveNow Week

GiveNow Week takes place around Australia during December each year to focus attention on the many ways we can make a difference to the lives of others.

The holiday season has long been known as a time of giving – this year, make sure you join in the tradition of giving by joining in GiveNow Week.

There are so many ways you and your family can help out this Christmas – this website is full of great ideas for all types of individuals and families.

We also have resources for businesses, and government, as well as for community groups who want to help foster a spirit of giving.

GiveNow Week is an initiative of the Our Community Foundation, which also supports the GiveNow.com.au commission-free giving website.

Both GiveNowWeek and GiveNow.com.au are proudly supported by Westpac.

GiveNow.com.au has been used by more than 83,000 individuals and corporates and has collected more than $21 million in online donations for Australian community groups of all types and sizes.
