Why The Gift Project?
Inspired by the incredible worldwide response to the catastrophic Black Summer bush fires of 2019/20 which ravaged the Eastern and Southern regions of Australia with horrific loss of life, both human and animal, The Gift Project was born.
We recognised the need for connection of donors to recipients to facilitate donations direct to those who need them most; our wildlife recue community. Australian wildlife rehabilitators & rescuers are stretched beyond limits without the resources needed to cope with record numbers of animals needing emergency treatment & rehabilitation..
This is where you can help.
Our Platform
We provide a unique platform to connect
you directly with Australian wildlife
carers/rehabilitators, rescuers, sanctuaries &
hospitals to ensure your donation makes it to
those doing the ground work 24/7,
365 days a year.
This way, your gift truly makes a difference.
Direct contribution
When connecting via this platform, you're
able to contribute directly to the ongoing
efforts of those who dedicate their lives to
saving the most vulnerable on our planet.
No third parties involved.
Range of contributions
When offering financial assistance for an
infrastructure project, animal formula/feed,
medical supplies, rescue/care equipment,
vet bills or counselling services, by joining
this community you're making a huge
difference to the lives of those who so
tirelessly give theirs.
Intention
Our soul intention is to ensure that the generosity
of donors is respected & that those donations
reach those they are intended for.
It's simple
This is not a fundraiser for charity.
What we do is directly connect donors who
choose to support our Australian wildlife rescue community and the animals they rescue,
rehabilitate and release.
Our Purpose
Passion
We’re passionate about the preservation of every Australian wildlife species & know that without our dedicated community of wildlife rescuers & rehabilitators, innumerable animals would suffer & not be given the chance of life.
Without our amazing humans, there is no wildlife rescue so we acknowledge just how important it is to support them in their volunteer work.
Eliminating third parties
Unfortunately, most of the funds donated to large charities don’t make it to where they’re needed.
Using this platform bypasses the need for a third party charity so your donation goes directly to support our wildlife rescuers and carers.
In essence, your contribution is being received where it is intended.
Making a difference
Every donation can make a difference. Support is always needed, not just when Mother Nature decides to show her fury!
We are enormously grateful for all
ongoing contributions.

Our Patron
'The Gift Project'.
And what a project this became for its creator, Sarah Hart.
Sarah contacted me at the beginning to see if I was interested in being of support during the early stages of the hellish bush fires of 2019/20 across Australia. I was, and did what I could to assist the many wonderful rescuers and carers and Sarah, with her passion and desire to be of help to our wonderful Australian bush inhabitants who were in the firing line of the monster raging towards them.
From the wonderful 'Wombat Hyatt' on the NSW southern coast to all of the many urgent feeding, care and rehabilitation centres set up to help the injured and orphaned that somehow survived the holocaust.
Well that season once again approaches us, so if you can help Sarah and her gang continue their great work I would be most grateful.
Thankyou.
