About Us
In 2005, Damien Eves and Aidan Hooper first began exploring the idea of a charity that gives every single dollar raised, back into the community. A charity that has minimal expenses, a charity that honours every donation made by its generous donors and most importantly a charity that supports the Western Australian community we live in.
It didn’t take long for this idea to capture the imagination of others. A volunteer working committee was formed who set about establishing the legal and financial requirements and as such, WA Charity Direct was born!
The vision for WA Charity Direct still remains as ‘Giving 100% of members funds to WA people who need it most’. Our purpose is to make giving easy.

OBJECTIVES
Our two founding objectives still proudly remain today:
- To ensure every dollar donated by our members is given back into the WA community
WA Charity Direct is run by professionals who volunteer their time and expertise. Very little money is used on administrative fees or caught up in costly advertising campaigns. To date, all our legal work, accounting and design work has been donated.
- To support the WA Community
WA Charity Direct supports applicants who reside in Western Australia only. Over the years, WA Charity Direct has made a real difference to individuals and families who need it most.
