The Life You Can Save Australia

Why Donate to The Life You Can Save Australia?

Your cryptocurrency gift in support of The Life You Can Save itself or one of our recommended nonprofits will help transform the lives of people living in extreme global poverty for the better. Our recommended nonprofits save and improve the most lives per dollar. They use simple but powerful interventions that make a real difference.

Whether it’s distributing anti-malarial bednets that reduce mortality rates from malaria at the cost of just $3 per bednet (Against Malaria Foundation), providing affordable eye care that prevents blindness and even restores sight (Fred Hollows Foundation), or distributing cash grants that enable recipients to solve their own problems (GiveDirectly), our recommended nonprofits provide health and financial opportunities that help prevent needless suffering and empower people to lift themselves out of extreme poverty.

The Life You Can Save offers a wide variety of giving options, described below. In addition to accepting donations for our operations or the work of one or all of our recommended charities, The Life You Can Save has also organized four special funds that allow you to give to multiple charities working on the same cause: the Health Fund, the Quality of Life Fund, the Help Women and Girls Fund, and the Education Fund. You can also support a broader set of our recommended charities by donating to the Maximize Your Impact Fund.

Anyone can donate through this page, and Australian donors will be able to claim any tax deductions they are legally entitled to. However, if you are a US donor, we recommend you donate to our US non-profit (learn more by visiting https://www.thelifeyoucansave.org/other-ways-to-give), which will allow you to claim any relevant tax relief.

You can use the widget on this page to make your cryptocurrency gift and the “Donation Notes” field to indicate which organization or fund you would like your gift to support. Please note that if no charity has been specified in the “Donation Notes” field your donation will be used to support The Life You Can Save’s operational expenses.
