WA Charity Direct was formed in 2004 by like minded people who wanted to contribute to charitable causes in a high impact way.  WA Charity Direct is as dynamic as it is unique. We help anyone from a single person in need of  a wheelchair, families experiencing financial difficulties that are caring for a disabled child, to ‘start-up’ charities and community based charity groups.

Objectives

WA Charity Direct was founded on two objectives:

• To give away 100% of all funds raised
  WA Charity Direct is run by professionals who donate their time and expertise.  No money is wasted on administrative fees or caught up in costly advertising campaigns. To date all our legal work, accounting and design work has been donated.

• Support the Western Australian Community
  WA Charity Direct supports applicants who reside in Western Australia only.  Our support extends to individuals who are in necessitous circumstances and lower profile charity groups.  Over the years, WA Charity Direct has made a real difference in people’s lives in a very practical way.

Members

Members of WA Charity Direct are critical to the ongoing success, as all funds raised are generated by the membership fees. Financially,  each WA Charity Direct member commits to paying a tax deductible membership fee of $2000 per annum. WA Charity Direct is a low maintenance, low involvement charitable organisation and as a member you can be confident that your financial donation goes directly to Western Australian people in need.

The future growth of WA Charity Direct is directly linked to our growing membership base.  Members are therefore strongly encouraged to spread the word and assist where possible in finding potential recipients and new members.

Who We Help

Successful recipients of WA Charity Direct range from individuals and families with specific needs, ‘start-up charities’ and small to medium charitable groups requiring assistance.

Each application received by WA Charity Direct is considered based on the strict guidelines that are stipulated in the Charter.  Applications are vetted by the Board of Trustees and all approvals must meet the set criteria.  The set criteria remains private and confidential to the Trustees of WA Charity Direct as per the Trust Deed.
