There are many considerations that go into play in deciding which charities and non-profits to support – some link to a list of metrics. The metrics we use to determine our charities

ACNC Approved
First, verify that the charity is registered and regulated by the governing body.

The Economics of Charity Support.
Rather than spreading thin and giving a thousand organisations $10 each and adding marginal productive power to each of those 1000, by giving one organisation $10,000, you are able to concentrate a much higher amount of productive power to a single organisation, and thus, a single mission. Having big capital is one of the biggest factors in how effectively a charity organisation can carry out its mission. Naturally, this requires us to be much more selective about who we support.

Shared Vision.
Is the organisation’s world view in line with yours?

Effective Altruism.
Evidence-based social advocating. Actual impact. In both scope and over time.

Cost Effectiveness. 
Everything else equal. $10,000 dollars that go to a charity who receive an annual donation of $50,000 is going to be much more effective than an organisation that receives millions in donations. Typically, those organisation that have low capital have a highly niche mission, and thus, are able to have more impact (link to charity impact) to the limited demographic that they aid. As such, a dollar supporting a “niche charity” is much more cost-effective than a dollar supporting a “mainstream charity”.

There are many wonderful charities and non-profits out there that all have a vision of how to better the world; too many for us to support them all. The above metrics are a powerful framework that guides our decision on who to support. The following is a list of charities and non-profit organisations that we here at HiViz Web Solutions proudly supports:
