Buying a charity gift is a great way to make a difference for children and communities in need. You can also bring joy to your friends and loved ones with a gift that spreads goodness around the world in their name.   

Every World Vision charity gift you buy supports life-changing work in vulnerable communities. There are gifts that help improve access to clean water or education. And others that help families improve their incomes or fight climate change. Whichever gift you choose, you’ll be helping children and communities who need it most.    

When you select your gift, you have three options:  

Email card: We’ll email your gift card to your friend or loved one. You can choose for the card to be sent straight away or schedule this for a later date.  

Print a card: You can download a printable PDF which folds easily into a gift card you can hand to your friend or loved one.  

No card: Just want to buy a gift for a child in need? That’s fine too! Buy your gift and we’ll email you a receipt for your generous donation.  

Yes! You can choose to have your gift card sent straight away or schedule this for any day up to two months after the purchase date. Simply select your send date in the checkout. Your gift card will be emailed at 9am AEST/AEDT on that date.

Each World Vision Gift you buy represents an item or activity included in our work to help children and communities here in Australia and overseas. 

Funds from gift purchases are pooled to support work in a specific category, such as health, education or family incomes. That way, we can make sure they have the greatest impact and are used where needed most. 

For example, when you buy the gift of a goat or fast-growing seeds, your donation will be used to help families grow more food and increase their incomes.   

If we receive more contributions than needed in a particular category, we’ll use the excess for work in other categories represented by items in the catalogue.  

Sorry, we can’t send gifts to individual sponsored children or communities. But please be assured your gift will make a world of difference for other children in need. 

When you choose a World Vision Gift, you’re helping many families and communities – including those outside the reach of child sponsorship. This means your support can go even further. 


Your gift donations may be tax deductible, depending on your personal tax position. We’ll send you a tax statement at the end of financial year detailing your donations. You can use this to claim a deduction when you submit your tax return. 
Once your gift card has been sent to your recipient, we can’t re-send it to a different email address. But we can provide you with a link you so you can print out a gift card instead. Simply call us on 13 32 40 or email service@worldvision.com.au.

Yes! You can send as many gift cards as you like to your friends and loved ones. But each gift card will be sent as a separate email. Simply choose your gift, write a message and send it off.

High Impact gifts help create lasting change for more children and communities in need than standard gifts.

Your High Impact gift donation will be pooled with other donations to support a specific category of work, such as health or education. This means you can deliver greater impact for those who need it most.   

High Impact gifts help with large-scale change, like supplying clean water to 24 communities or providing shelter for 6,240 people in crisis. You can make a difference in so many lives. 

Like many organisations we're switching to digital communications. This is helping to save costs and maximise funds available to help vulnerable children and their communities. You can browse the full selection of World Vision gifts on our website and choose to print your own gift card or email a gift card to your friend or loved one.

We no longer produce printed cards. World Vision gifts have gone fully digital (and more environmentally friendly). If you’d like a printed card, you can choose to download a “print your own” card when you buy a gift on our website. If you see our team when you’re visiting the local shopping centre, feel free to ask them about our gifts. They will be happy to show you how to buy them online.

World Vision gift cards represent a donation to World Vision Australia. Sorry, but we don’t offer refunds if you change your mind.  

In the unlikely event your gift card doesn’t display properly, or you don’t receive it, we can arrange a replacement for you. To arrange a replacement, or for any other queries about your purchase, please contact our team on 13 32 40 or email service@worldvision.com.au
