• What is matching?

    For all one off donations made here will be matched dollar for dollar by a generous group of anonymous donors, up to the value of $300,000 until 12:00 PM AEDT 14th December 2023. All donations above $2 are tax deductible and will be directed to where the need is greatest. Gifts received after the total of $300,000 has been met will not be matched but will be used where needed most. 
     

  • How do I update my details?

    You can update your details on our Donor Update Form. Or, you can get in touch and someone on our Sydney based Supporter Services team will be able to help you.

  • How it works

    For every dollar given in one off donations, a generous group of anonymous donors will match with a donation of the same amount, up to a total of $300,000 until ​12:00 PM AEDT 14th December 2023. Gifts received after the total of $300,000 has been met will not be matched but will be used where needed most.

     

  • Is my donation tax deductible?

    Yes, donations of $2 and over are tax deductible in Australia.

  • What methods of payment are accepted?

    We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Diners Club. We also accept one-off donations by Paypal and monthly donations by direct debit.

  • What will my donation be used for?

    Your donation will be used to restore sight to those who are needlessly blind, and help end avoidable blindness in the countries where we work, which includes eye operations and treatments, training surgeons and eye health workers, and other sustainable eye health.

    For every $1 donated, 75% goes directly towards eye health programs, 6% is necessary for admin costs, and 19% goes towards investment in fundraising efforts which allows us to help even more people in future years.

  • Will I get a receipt?

    Yes, you will receive an email receipt immediately after donating and if you make a monthly gift you will receive a yearly tax receipt in the post every year.
