Partner With Us to Multiply Impact
Join a growing network of individuals, organizations, and institutions working with Give Basic Needs to turn Small Acts into Big Happy—together creating lasting, measurable change where it’s needed most.
Small Acts. Big Happy.
At Give Basic Needs, we believe meaningful impact is created through collaboration. Our work is strengthened by trusted partners who share our commitment to reducing suffering, restoring dignity, and improving wellbeing for vulnerable communities.
Our Approach to Partnership
We work hand-in-hand with foundations, organisations, and mission-aligned partners to deliver essential services, including health support, food, shelter, and community care—to those who need them most. Together, we combine resources, expertise, and shared purpose to amplify impact beyond what any one organisation could achieve alone.
