Give sight, sustainably

Your regular gift helps us train the local clinical and surgical teams who make sight-saving care possible, not just once, but for good.

A different type of gift

A Vision Giver gives fortnightly, monthly, quarterly or annually, rather than once.

That’s not just a payment preference. Sight For All was founded on an old idea: give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. We don’t fly in, perform surgeries, and leave. We train the local doctors, nurses and surgical teams who keep eye care running long after we’re gone.

That kind of training takes years, not a single donation cycle. A monthly gift means we can commit to it years ahead, rather than only when funding allows.

Become a Vision Giver

Sight For All doesn’t just train doctors. We train subspecialist ophthalmologists, the specific expertise needed to close critical gaps in eye care where it’s needed most.

$25 a month

helps supply the training materials and equipment a local health worker needs to start screening for treatable and preventable eye conditions in their own community.

$65 a month

helps fund part of an ophthalmologist’s subspecialist training, in places where only a handful of specialists exist to treat complex eye conditions.

$125 a month

helps fund major durable and high-value surgical equipment, that a trained team can use for years, treating hundreds or thousands of patients long after your gift is given.

Hear from who we’ve helped

Chum had lived with poor vision in both eyes since birth, born with a rare condition called iris dysgenesis that left her without a functioning iris to shield her eyes from light. She moved cautiously through the world, guided by her sister, until Sight For All Visionary and optometrist Gavin O’Callaghan visited a Cambodian eye clinic to train local Fellows Dr Dalin, Dr Raksmey, Dr Namgech and Mr Alay in contact lens adaptation.

During that training, Chum was fitted with a specialised lens designed to replace her iris’s function, dramatically reducing the light entering her eyes. The change was instant. For the first time, she could look up without pain. She stepped outside, lifted her face to the sky, and saw the sun and the mango trees above her.

Chum’s story is one of many made possible by training that lasts well beyond a single visit. It’s the kind of impact Vision Givers help sustain, month after month.

“I was drawn to Sight For All some years back as they work with those most in need. The small team in Australia are able to keep admin costs to a minimum meaning more is available to help those, particularly in South East Asia, with sight related conditions. The team also put on informative events to hear of those assisted.”

– Nicholas Boyd

"We have been Vision Givers for some years and are delighted to support Australian ophthalmologists and other medical professionals who give their valuable time and expertise to train doctors from poorer countries. We love this concept of the multiplying factor - and we know the administrative overheads are very low for the impact achieved."

– Ian and Rosie Budenberg

"I am a Sight For All Vision Giver because I know directly what a difference Sight For All is making around the world. As a Sight For All Visionary, we are teaching the world to see, one country at a time. Giving to Sight For All will ensure that this important work can continue."

– Dr Ridia Lim

Vision Giver Program – FAQs

Everything you need to know about giving regularly to Sight For All

What is the Vision Giver program?

Vision Givers are Sight For All supporters who give regularly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly or annually, rather than as a single one-off gift.

What's the difference between a one-off gift and becoming a Vision Giver?

Both are valued. A one-off gift helps fund training already underway. A regular gift lets Sight For All commit to multi-year training programs with confidence, since this kind of specialist training takes years to complete.

Can I choose how often I give?

Yes. You can choose fortnightly, monthly, quarterly or annual giving when you sign up.

Can I change, pause or cancel my donation?

Yes, at any time. Just log into your donor dashboard and you can update your donation amount, frequency and payment details, or pause or cancel altogether. You’re always in control of your gift.

What payment methods are accepted?

We accept credit card, direct debit and PayPal. If you’d like to make a cash donation, please contact our team to confirm next steps.

Will I receive a receipt?

Yes, an annual tax receipt is issued each financial year.

Is my donation tax deductible?

Yes. Sight For All is a registered charity with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status, so donations of $2 or more are tax deductible in Australia.

How can I be confident my donation is used responsibly?

Sight For All is a signatory to the ACFID Code of Conduct and publishes an independently audited Annual Report each year, including full financial statements. You can view our latest report here.

How much of my donation goes towards programs?

85 cents of every dollar you give goes directly to project delivery. This reflects our improved allocation of project costs, which keeps administration expenses below 20%.

Where does my gift go?

Your gift supports Sight For All’s work training local clinical and surgical teams across Australia, Asia and Pacific countries. Sight For All’s model relies heavily on volunteer “Visionary” ophthalmologists who donate their time to teach local doctors, which means your donation goes further, funding equipment, fellowships and infrastructure, while much of the direct clinical training is donated.
