How Helpmore manages this portfolio

Vetted charities. Direct giving. Zero admin layers

Every charity in this portfolio has passed our Trust Index due diligence covering NPO registration, financial transparency and independent governance. Helpmore does not hold your donation; we pass it on directly to the charity, so your full contribution lands where the work happens. Our team then supports each organisation with capacity building, visibility and ongoing accountability. Section 18A Tax certificates are available for all donations.

Trust promise: if a charity in this portfolio ever falls short of our transparency criteria, it is removed from the Trust Index until rectified.
