Australian Bushfire Relief Fund

CAF AMERICA CREATES DEDICATED FUND TO ENABLE TAX-EFFECTIVE RESPONSE TO THE AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRES

Bushfires ravaged Australian continent from September 2019 well into the new year. Millions of families were affected, as well as countless indigenous wildlife. Fueled by arid climate conditions, the fires impacted all states and territories of Australia. Due to an outpouring of interest and to best serve our donors’ needs, CAF America created the Australian Bushfire Relief Fund. All donations to this fund will be dedicated to supporting current relief efforts in Australia.

If you’d like to give directly to the individual charities instead of to the general fund, please see below the list of organizations eligible with CAF America which are working to provide relief:

CAF America also works with our partner in Australia, Good2Give, to expedite grants to charities registered with the Australian Business Register who have DGR-1 status. A few of the organizations that are currently responding are listed below. There are many other organizations conducting relief efforts.
