Give monthly, affordable and tax-deductible, recurring donations using your credit card to a charity of your preference.
A Giving Circle groups people of similar charitable preferences and makes it very easy to provide your support to a charity the Circle chooses. Great for social groups and clubs to collectively support a charity.
Giving Circles and recurring monthly donations operate in a similar way. Both auto charge your credit card with your specified monthly donation.
This is also great for our Noosa charities because it smooths out peaks and troughs in the donation cycle and gives your charity more clarity for planning purposes. You can cancel at any time.

Case Studies
Locally based SunnyKids has run their P100 Giving Circle for over 10 years. Some 120 people donate $100 per month by auto deduction. This raises an estimated $140,000 annually for this great charity helping children experiencing family issues.
Five Bucks Giving Circle members donate just $5 per week. In its first 6 months, it raised $28,8032 from 274 donors (they call them Buckaroos) for its chosen charities. This demonstrates that even small, and very affordable, donations can add up to worthwhile sums for the charities of choice.
There is also a successful Women’s Circle in Northern Rivers which 159 local women have joined since 2024. They each contribute $20 per week amounting to around $160,000 per annum. These funds are focused on helping local women and girls.
Bega-based Mumbulla Community Foundation also has a woman’s Circle.
In Dec 2025, they report 21 members giving a minimum of $20 per week or $1,000 pa giving an estimated fundraising of $21,000pa.
Introducing Noosa Foundation’s Giving Circle
Circle Members join a group that donate their chosen amount per month to our “Kickstart” project to help Noosa youth onto a track for a better future. All the money we raise goes to local Noosa charities. All Noosa Circle donors are recognised on our website; but you can be anonymous if you prefer. Just tick the “anon” box when paying.
When you join the Noosa Circle, you pledge your chosen amount per month automatically deducted from your credit card. Donations over $2 are fully tax-deductible.
Personal Monthly Support for Your Chosen Charities
If you prefer to “do your own thing” and/or to support a particular local charity, you can choose your monthly donation and it will be auto-deducted from your credit card until you cancel payments.
You can advise us of your preferred charities in the “Notes” when you donate if you wish. If you don’t, we will add it to our “untied” funds pool to be used to the best local advantage at any point in time.
Donors who sign up for $200 per month, or more, off their credit card also get additional recognition by immediately becoming listed on our Foundation Friend’s page.
Noosa Charities & Clubs own Giving Circles
If you are a club or local charity, you can have your own Giving Circle and raise money for your chosen purpose.
We use Raisely technology to power our Giving Circles. You can sign up for your own account or set up a Circle with us.
Raisely doesn’t charge for the service but a small percentage of donations may be used used to cover the credit card clearing company fees. The Noosa Foundation does not charge for our service.
We will show your Circle on the Foundation’s website but you can also place the link on your own website, emails and socials.
Contact us at reception@noosa.foundation to explore your options with us further.
