Our Patron

Her Majesty The Queen

During the 2019-2020 Black Summer Bushfires, Her Majesty donated towards school uniforms & supplies for children in bushfire-affected areas who were soon returning to school, as well as hardware items, equipment and materials for rural families needing to repair their properties. 

Her Majesty, in her role as Patron supported GIVIT’s model of giving to communities and individuals in a practical way, ensuring those who required help received the exact items they needed, while buying locally to help devastated communities. 

She was also particularly passionate about supporting GIVIT's work with people impacted by domestic and family violence.

I am delighted to accept the kind request of GIVIT’s Founder, Juliette Wright, to become the charity’s first Patron.  I have watched and listened to the daily news of how Australians are suffering from these catastrophic bushfires and, now, the coronavirus and my heart goes out to them. As Patron of GIVIT, I hope I shall be able to help this remarkable charity deal with a crisis at grassroots level.

Juliette Wright, OAM

Juliette Wright is an inspired and passionate social justice campaigner. She created GIVIT in 2009 with a goal to connect those who have with those who need. 

Through Juliette’s vision and determination, GIVIT has become the smart way for Australians to give to vulnerable people in their own communities. GIVIT also provides an award-winning Disaster and Emergency Recovery Service to manage donation flow after disasters.

From an idea discussed around the kitchen table, GIVIT is now a critical player in disaster recovery and an essential everyday resource for thousands of charities, schools and community organisations. Juliette has built a small but passionate team and, as a result, more Australians get more of the help they need when they need it.

Juliette has received numerous awards for her charity initiatives and disaster recovery innovation and was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2019 and Australia’s Local Hero in 2015 by the National Australia Day Council.

When I started GIVIT, I knew it would grow as people realised how easy it was to give back to their community. GIVIT’s strength lies in its simplicity and effectiveness. We ensure that donations go directly to where they are needed most, and we created a model that minimises waste and maximises impact. I’m so proud of everything we have collectively achieved.
