About

Human Appeal Australia is an Australian-based international humanitarian organization established in 1991 that provides emergency relief and sustainable development programs across 36 countries globally. They operate as a charitable organization raising funds from public donations to support poverty alleviation, with a focus on emergency aid, education, health, water, orphan sponsorship, and Islamic charitable giving (Zakat, Qurban).

Tips for Applicants

Human Appeal Australia is primarily a charitable organization that raises and distributes funds rather than a traditional grantmaking foundation. They do not accept grant applications from external organizations but work through established partnerships. Those seeking funding should consider becoming implementing partners or local community organizations that can collaborate on specific projects. Their focus is on grass-roots relationships with local partners.

Giving Philosophy

They believe in a multidimensional aid approach combining immediate emergency relief with long-term sustainable development programs. Their philosophy emphasizes building solid grass-roots relationships with local, national and international partners to leave a worthwhile legacy. They accept Zakat and Sadaqa (voluntary) donations and claim GST exemption on all donations.
