Welcome Back !

Last time you were here, you were looking to help vulnerable children and families. Your support can save and change lives.

Gifts for Good

No. The Gifts for Good program is designed to help vulnerable children and families around the globe, not just children sponsored by the Australian public.

Yes! Your gift represents a real item or resource that will be purchased to support our child-focused international development work.

We collaborate closely with the communities with whom we work to develop and implement programs that suit the local context.

Your purchase of a Gift for Good enables ChildFund to resource each of our projects, and ensure they have a long-term benefit to children’s lives.

If you’re looking for a creative gift idea for your friends and family simply choose a gift from the online store that you would like to buy in honour of your loved ones. Your funds will be used to resource and support our child-focused development programs.

For every gift, you will receive a gift card to give to your loved ones to show them the unique act you have performed on their behalf.

For mail order, please allow 10 days for delivery of your gift card/s. In order for you to write a personal message, we will send the gift card directly to you, and not to your friends or family.

E-Cards and print at home cards will be delivered to the nominated email address instantly.

The receipt can only be sent out to the individual making the donation: that is, the person whose details are given on the donation form.

Yes. You will receive a tax deductible receipt for every donation over $2.

You can select an e-cards, PDF card to print at home, or you can request physical cards which will be posted to your address. All of these options include a description of the item you have purchased, and how it helps children and families in vulnerable communities. All you need to do is write a personal message to your gift recipient.

Gifts for Good can be purchased at any time of the year, so you can also choose a card with a themed cover for birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and other important events.

All of our Gifts for Good form a part of ChildFund’s development programs, which are designed to help communities towards self-sufficiency. If you buy ten baby chickens, for example, then ChildFund will not only provide these chicks to the family, but also give them the opportunity to take part in training on animal-husbandry, and child nutrition. If you decide to buy a direct gift of baby chickens for your sponsored child, only the chickens are delivered. Please also note that prices and resources can range from country to country.

For gift cards, please allow 10 days for delivery via Australia Post. For any purchases made after 16th December, you can still share a personal message with your gift by selecting the eCard or printable PDF options on our website.

Yes, Gifts for Good are tax deductible. Keep your receipt and you can include your charity gifts as part of your tax return next year.

You can buy Gifts for Good for anyone. If someone you know cares about a particular cause, you can choose a gift that closely matches their interests. Our gifts have been given to colleagues, employers, family, friends, partners and more.
