Spend It Well

Spend It Well is small charity achieving big outcomes.  Spend It Well was established in 2008 by a small group of people wanting to help local communities in poor nations, but tired of donating money and seeing no tangible results.

Spend It Well was created to enable donors to directly support short term projects and remain involved throughout the project with regular updates. Donors also have the opportunity to visit the project to see the outcome of their involvement. 100% of funds donated go directly to the nominated project.

Spend It Well has established a sub-fund at Melbourne Community Foundation so that it can offer tax deductible donations for existing and potential donors.  It has built two schools in East Timor to date and has plans to build two more schools this year. It will work with Melbourne Community Foundation to arrange and fund those and future projects in East Timor and other developing countries.  For more information visit their website www.spenditwell.com.
