Best charity to donate to Gaza

What your donation to Gaza can do
Donations to Gaza mostly fund emergency aid: food, clean water, shelter, blankets, medical care and support for children and families.
Getting aid into Gaza isn't always simple, so charities often work through partners and established organisations already on the ground. That's why it's worth choosing a charity that names its Gaza program and shares updates on its profile. For longer-term work like education and health across the Palestinian territories, see our guide to the best charity to donate to Palestine.
Money is the most useful thing you can give. Charities can buy what's needed as close to Gaza as possible and adjust as conditions change. If you're thinking about people who've left the region, our guide to refugee charities is a good next stop.

Want a different charity? Search all 60,000+ charities. How we picked these four: from Tap4Change's charity data, we took charities that name Gaza in their programs or appeals, rated 2 or 3 stars with a complete profile, and ranked them by their most recent annual donations. Only four met that bar, so we've listed four rather than pad the list.
A thank you perk from brands that do good
Some donations come with a thank you perk from a partner brand, like a voucher or a free product. It's a small thanks for showing up, never the reason to give. Offers change often, so check what's on when you donate.

What your donation actually pays for
Your donation pays for food parcels, clean water, blankets, medical care and the partners who deliver them. Giving money rather than goods means charities can source supplies as close to Gaza as possible, which is faster and more reliable than shipping items from Australia.
Programs listed come from each charity's details in Tap4Change's charity data. For how fees, ACNC registration and tax receipts work, see the Tap4Change FAQs, the ACNC Charity Register and the ATO's gifts and donations guide.
Donating to Gaza questions, answered
What is the best charity to donate to Gaza?
The best charity is one that's ACNC-registered and names Gaza in its programs or appeals, so you know where your money is meant to go. All four charities above meet that bar.
From there, choose by the kind of help you want to fund: food and essentials, health care, or support for children. Open each profile on Tap4Change to compare.
Can aid actually reach people in Gaza?
Access can be difficult and it changes often. Charities working in Gaza usually rely on local partners and established aid organisations already on the ground, which is one reason to give to a charity with a named Gaza program.
We can't guarantee delivery on any charity's behalf. Follow each charity's updates on its Tap4Change profile to see how its work is going.
Are donations to Gaza charities tax deductible?
Yes, if the charity you choose is eligible. Tax deductibility is shown at the top of each charity's page on Tap4Change. Donations to a charity endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), and covered by Item 1 of the table in section 30-15 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, are tax deductible.
Three of the four charities on this page are marked as tax deductible in our charity data. Islamic Society Of Darwin isn't, so don't count on a deduction for a gift to it. Each card shows a chip for this. You can download your receipt from your profile to claim it at tax time.
What is the difference between donating to Gaza and to Palestine?
Gaza is one part of the Palestinian territories. Donations to Gaza tend to focus on urgent emergency aid there, while charities working across Palestine also fund longer-term programs like education and health.
If you'd like to compare charities doing that wider work, see our guide to the best charity to donate to Palestine.
What is a thank you perk, and does it change my donation?
A thank you perk is a small gesture from a brand that partners with Tap4Change, such as a voucher or a free product, offered with some donations. Your donation still goes 100% to the charity. The perk comes from the brand, and offers rotate, so what's available depends on when you give.
If you can't donate right now, reach out to the Tap4Change team at support@tap4change.org. Sharing a charity's page is a great way to help too.
