Where the money goes in our charity work

We pride ourselves on being one of the most  reputable charities in Australia. We work hard to ensure your donation makes the biggest impact – read here for more information on donation effectiveness.

In 2019/20, CARE Australia spent:

91% of total expenditure on our programs, including education programs in Australia to raise awareness of poverty overseas
6% was reinvested to raise future funds
3% was spent on administration and our talented people.

Our expert staff, strong accountability measures and world-class computer infrastructure all contribute to a better organisation and better aid outcomes.

That’s why when a small fraction of your donation goes to administration, it’s not taking away from the life-changing work that we do – it’s supporting it.

For more information, please visit our Annual Reports page.

More than $60.7 million was spent on international programs, bringing millions of people out of poverty and creating a more equal world.
