Frequently Asked Questions
What are Gifts of Hope?
All Gifts of Hope gift cards are a tax deductible donation to Plan International Australia's Overseas Aid Account. They're a charitable gift that represent true change for girls, their families, and their communities.
By choosing a Gift of Hope, you’re not just giving a heartfelt gift to a loved one or your network – you’re helping create a world where all children can thrive, and girls can take their rightful place as equals. You’re supporting communities to survive disaster, ensuring children and mothers are given a healthy start to life, and empowering girls to achieve their dreams. A better now for her, a better future for everyone. Pretty amazing, isn’t it?
What happens when I buy a charitable gift?
Once you choose your gift (or gifts!), we’ll send you a physical card or digital card you can forward via email that shows the gift in action. Then all you need to do is write your personal message and forward it on to the gift recipient. Just want to support our work? Buy one for yourself and proudly display it on your mantelpiece!
Where does the money go?
Our Gifts of Hope provide tangible examples of some of the many ways your gift can support children and break down the barriers holding girls back all around the world. To ensure we can best serve the communities in which we work, your charitable gift will be put to work where it will have the greatest impact, supporting children facing violence, children being denied an education, and children being held back from achieving their potential.

Your gift in action
With her family facing severe financial pressure, 17-year-old Mahawa nearly became a child bride against her will.
But thanks to a savings group set up with Plan International’s support, Mahawa’s mother was able to take out a loan to pay for her daughter’s school needs, thereby safeguarding her education and future.
“I used to be jealous of my friends who had more than me,” shares Mahawa. “But now I have everything I need: shoes, clothes, school supplies, extra tuition. Without these things, I might have been forced into marriage.”
To support young women like Mahawa, check out our Create Change for Girls gift.
