All donations go directly to ReachOut Australia using the Stripe Payment Gateway for our online credit card transactions. Stripe processes online credit card transactions for thousands of Australian merchants, providing a safe and secure means of collecting payments via the Internet.

All online credit card transactions performed on this site using the Stripe Payment Gateway are secured payments.Your complete credit card number cannot be viewed by ReachOut or any outside party and all monies are directly transferred from your card to a merchant account held by ReachOut.

ReachOut keeps our internal costs down by employing a small team of staff and Make a Move is delivered by an internal team, saving on paying an external agency.

85% of funds raised from Make a Move go directly to the ReachOut services that support young people and their parents. Funds are distributed to the areas of our services that are most in need. ReachOut is continually evolving and adapting to ensure we meet the needs of young people with mental health difficulties.

The remaining 15% of funds raised goes toward keeping ReachOut running. This includes staffing costs, and essential things like keeping the lights on, running servers and paying the rent for our office space.

ReachOut has a policy of financial transparency, and are externally audited every year. Please feel free to check out a breakdown of our income and expenditures here.
