Our impact
Since our inception in 2016, Give Together has donated over $270,000, supporting 12 organisations across Australia.
We've funded projects that create meaningful impact for First Nations people, people with disability, migrant and refugee communities, the LGBTQI+ community, women, youth, the arts, community legal centres, homelessness services, and more.
In line with the Australian Government's goal to double philanthropy by 2030, we are committed to reaching a milestone of over half a million dollars in donations by that time.
Together, we’re driving change and making a lasting difference. Help us achieve our goal and grown our impact, by joining today.
Our most recent pledge
This year Give Together had a total funding pool of $50,000. Members voted to split this donation, allowing us to support two different organisations - Success Works and Blue Mountains East Timor Sisters (BMETS) - who each work with their local community in different ways.

Organisations we have supported
Blue Mountains East Timor Sisters (BMETS)
$15,000
2025
BMETS is an Australian organisation working closely with communities in Timor-Leste to create opportunities through education. In the remote village of Taureme, over 40 children were learning in a fragile shelter made of scrap iron, with no resources or protection from the cold and rain. With a $15,000 donation from Give Together, BMETS is helping to construct a solid, weatherproof two-classroom preschool complete with basic furniture and learning materials.
“The Taureme Preschool will make a huge impact in this remote community – BMETS is pleased to facilitate the building of both kids’ futures and international friendship – a big impact for a relatively small investment.” - BMETS member, Mary.

Success Works
$35,000 donation
2025
Give Together supported Success Works to establish the Helping Hands Drop-In Centre. Success Works is a transformative program designed to support women impacted by the criminal justice system as they build a pathway to self-reliance and employment. Through job readiness workshops, personalised mentoring and transitional assistance, Success Works empowers women to confidently present themselves to employers who see their skills - not their record. By fostering employer partnerships and advocating for change, they break down the barriers to employment and unlock the potential within every woman, helping her take the next step toward a brighter future.
“Gaining employment has given me the ability to financially provide for my son, and given me the confidence that I can provide. It was always a worry but after gaining employment, I know he has a future". - Claire (pseudonym), who is mum to a son aged 8.
