The 10 top charities in Australia have been greatly influenced by the events of 2020. We have taken a look at the most popular charities on our Good2Give Workplace Giving Platform during 2020 and what they did to achieve this.
Australian Red Cross

The Australian Red Cross is consistently one of the most popular charities on the Good2Give Workplace Giving Platform.

The Smith Family
One of the top charities in Australia for Education
While The Smith Family is consistently a popular charity on the Good2Give Workplace Giving Platform, they stayed relevant throughout 2020 by focusing on the digital divide. Out of the 50,000 young people in their Learning for Life program, almost a quarter of the students didn’t have a device connected to the internet at home, which would have greatly impacted their ability to learn during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Hear what their CEO has had to say about the divide.
