The Possible Mission

Our Sydney Charity is one to included amongst charities to donate to because of our one-of-a-kind Cap Policy. Once we secure sufficient funding to cover our annual projected operational expenses (80k) for that tax year, 100% of every additional dollar goes DIRECTLY to those in need. We are a small Inner West charity that has relied extensively on volunteers. However, we can no longer operate on volunteer power alone. So, we turn to the public and small local businesses for support. With sufficiant funding we can continue to provide crucial supplies to vulnerable people and organisations. We have been privileged to operate across suburbs across the city like Redfern and Newtown. In just three years we have redistributed countless items to over thirty organisations, rural communities and people in need. All monetary donations are tax decutable. So, give a little, so we can continue to give a lot. If you are a local business and would like to review our Local Buisness Sponsorship Presentation you can locate it at the bottom of this page in our Important Documents section. We practice transparency so if you have any questions, contact us.

Our Purpose

Our charity provides benevolent support to persons and organisations seeking relief from poverty, sickness, disability, destitution, suffering, misfortune, or helplessness across New South Wales. We provide much-needed supplies such as nappies, music, toys, baby items, sports, arts, gaming, medical, and school equipment. Giving this support provides opportunities that can help vulnerable people and oragnisations to thrive, not just survive. Our charity works to prevent negative health outcomes from developing via sustainable practices and policies. We rehome new/gently used items and excess stock which enables us to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting usable goods away from landfills and into the hands of those in need. 

Future Goals

Our major goal is to open a location that operates as a free shop in which registered organisations and referred persons can come collect supplies. This will facilitate recycling, reduce emissions, save the city money, and provide those in need with access to supplies.


Not all of us are lucky enough to have access to supplies that spark well-being, inspire learning and encourage good health. We are excited to expand throughout the Inner West and into the greater Sydney area for a sustainable and healthier community.

Cap Policy

Once our projected operational expenses have been reached for that year, 100% of every additional donation goes directly toward our Presents Program for referred vulnerable people. This policy was developed to ensure that our charity continues to remain focused on providing support to those in need. No bonuses for our charities board or putting funds towards advertising.
