The support for those affected by the catastrophic bushfires raging across Australia has been nothing short of inspiring. We’ve seen the world come together, from celebrities such as Chris Hemsworth donating $1 million and urging the world to get involved, as well as Andrew and Nicola Forrest’s Minderoo Foundation committing $70 million to help bushfire fighting and relief efforts. Australian comedienne Celeste Barber’s Facebook fundraiser has rallied global support, contributing an incredible $50 million to the effort. Click here to contribute to Celeste Barber’s fundraiser.
It’s easy to understand why this has had such global appeal. Pictures of Koala’s hugging; children and adults rescuing kangaroos; blood red skies from leaping flames and charred black terrain as far as the eye can see. We see Firemen, with blackened faces dripping with sweat, fighting extreme heat from colossal blazes and the devastation of families who’ve lost everything. The world is united behind the shared goal of stopping this disaster and providing relief to the people and the animals affected.
Donations of food, clothing, shelter and money have come from across the globe and are greatly appreciated from the entirety of Australia. Even if you are strapped for cash, the Goat offers several ways that everyone can offer their support without money. Many sites have helpfully curated a list of verified charities to donate money to, including this comprehensive list by GiveNow. Whether you want to support animal rescue, relief funds and goods, or the firefighting services, there’s multiple options for all.
According the NSW Office of Emergency Management, cash through registered funds and official appeals is the preferred route for giving. This gives people the flexibility to choose exactly what they need as well as supporting local businesses and other efforts in building communities. Recently, different charities and clubs have been giving out prepaid credit cards as a form of support and relief, such as the Rotary Club of Taree and Manning.
Prepaid cards provide a unique solution to disaster relief with a great number of benefits;
With the bushfire disaster that is roaring across Australia, everyone agrees that people affected need effective help and fast. Here at Corporate Prepaid Cards, we’re looking to partner with charities to provide an easy and efficient way to give support in the form of prepaid cards, available to use online and anywhere EFTPOS is accepted. If you work with a charity looking to aid those affected by the fires, please get in touch with Lawrence Montgomery via email at [email protected] or by phone at 1300 181 032 to discuss how we can help.
