Thanks for your input!
Thanks so much! You've just help chart the future for GetUp and it's half a million members.
Now you've told us what you care about, are you ready to make it happen?
It's members like you, chipping in what they can every week, that power all that we do. Regular donations enable our tiny staff to plan ahead, book media spots, commission research, hire grassroots organisers, invest in new technology, create awesome ads, and much, much more . It's regular, predictable donations that maximise how strategic, pro-active and ambitious our movement can be.
The stakes are high this year, but you don't have to have Rinehart or Murdoch's wallet (or media network) to make your voice heard. Together, a lot of us giving a little really adds up to something truly amazing - Your contributions let us take this feedback and transform it into real action.

Some older versions of browsers might occasionally display an error message indicating that aspects of the page are not secure. Please be assured that these are NOT related to the donation form itself, but tend to be videos or images related to the campaign.

Politics should be about movements, not millionaires. So while our politicians are bankrolled by huge cheques from big business, GetUp is funded by you.
GetUp is a not-for-profit organisation and does not receive any money from any political parties or the Government. Instead we're supported by thousands of individuals who may not have a lot of time or money, but who care about the issues and want to have a say. Over 50,000 Australians have chipped in to fund GetUp's campaigns, and the average donation is just under $42. That's something to be very proud of.
The majority of donors to GetUp give under $100, but some individuals and organisations have contributed more. Like all advocacy organisations, GetUp is required by law to disclose to the Australian Electoral Commission the identity of any donors who give over $11,200 in a financial year. These disclosures take up to 18 months; for example, donations to political parties and advocacy organisations during the 2010 Federal Election won't be disclosed to the public until February 2012. We believe those laws should be tightened, so GetUp is immediately making public all donations to GetUp over $11,500. All future donations over $11,500 will be published on our website within 30 days of their receipt.
If you donate towards a particular campaign, we will only put that money towards the issue you're passionate about. We rely on those donations that are not dedicated to specific campaigns; to keep our small office running and maintain the website. These donors make everything possible, and give all GetUp members the chance to influence change on the issues you care about. Our dedicated team of staff are backed up by the inexhaustible energy of interns and volunteers who make sure your dollar goes a long way to creating a progressive Australia.
We know that being transparent about the donations we receive is important to members - check out our donations disclosure page here.
