ACNC Verified
100% of donations to charities
Start with the basics. Is the charity registered with the ACNC, the national charity regulator? Does it name its Palestinian programs, so you know what your money funds? And is it a deductible gift recipient, if a tax deduction matters to you?
Then think about the kind of help you want to give. Some charities focus on emergency aid in a crisis. Others fund longer-term work like health care, early learning and scholarships. Both matter, and the charities below cover a mix. If your focus is emergency aid inside Gaza right now, see our guide to the best charity to donate to Gaza.
Be careful with crowdfunding. The ATO notes that many social media and crowdfunding campaigns aren't run by deductible gift recipients. Giving through a registered charity is the simplest way to know your donation is going somewhere accountable.

Want a different charity? Search all 60,000+ charities. How we picked these six: from Tap4Change's charity data, we took charities that name Palestinian programs or appeals in their profile, rated 2 or 3 stars with a complete profile, and ranked them by their most recent annual donations. Groups that focus mainly on advocacy, or whose programs are based in Israel, were left out.
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.

Palestinian families need support in lots of different ways. Here's what the charities above fund, so you can pick the kind of help that feels right.
Child sponsorship and emergency appeals keep kids fed, safe and supported.
The Australian Foundation For Palestinian Children runs child sponsorshipPrimary health care and vocational training help families stay well and earn a living.
Act for Peace funds health care and training for families in GazaEarly childhood education gives young refugee kids a strong start.
APHEDA runs early childhood education for Palestinian refugeesScholarships help young Palestinians keep studying.
The Lasallian Foundation funds Palestine ScholarshipsYour donation pays for food and essentials in a crisis, and for the longer work too: health clinics, teachers, school supplies and scholarships. Giving money rather than goods lets each charity put it where it's needed most, which can change quickly.
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.
There isn't one right answer. The best charity for you is one that's ACNC-registered, clear about its Palestinian programs, and focused on the kind of help you want to fund, whether that's emergency aid, health care or education.
The six charities above all meet the first two tests. Open their Tap4Change profiles to compare their programs and updates, then pick the one that fits.
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.
Four of the six charities on this page are marked as tax deductible in our charity data. Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA and Australian Lasallian Foundation aren't, so don't count on a deduction for a gift to them. Each card shows a chip for this. You can download your receipt from your profile to claim it at tax time.
Check the charity on the ACNC Charity Register. Registered charities have to follow the ACNC's rules to stay registered, and every charity on Tap4Change is ACNC-registered.
Look for named programs, regular updates and clear contact details. Be more careful with social media fundraisers and crowdfunding pages, which the ATO notes often aren't run by deductible gift recipients.
Both help. Emergency aid meets urgent needs like food and shelter right now. Long-term programs such as health care, early learning and scholarships help families rebuild and plan ahead.
If you can't decide, a monthly gift to one charity gives it steady funding to do both. You can change or cancel it any time from your donation history.
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.
