ESTHER card
People in need receive donations on an ESTHER card.
We switch off high risk purchases like gambling, alcohol and cash withdrawals.
How do we identify people in crisis?
Trusted Partners
We work with a national network of schools, charities and churches to verify and register people in need.

What our donors are saying...
Do you have 2 mins to spare and want to help someone out who truly needs it? ESTHER connects a donation directly to someone in need, right now. World change starts by helping just one person! #localheroes
I've just signed up to this brilliant idea - I have been so troubled by the homeless people around my city recently & it's great to find a reliable way of helping. Well done @EstherGiving for making it easy - thank you!
As a donor you really feel connected and that your donation, however small, is helping to make a difference.
What our recipients are saying...
“I can’t believe that this donation is coming from actual people in my community, that other people are sharing what they have with me. It makes me want to improve my life, I've cut back on smoking and am trying to exercise more.”
I feel like real people are investing in me, and it makes me want to invest in myself.
I was able to focus on more than just ‘How am I going to survive this week?’, and was even able to buy Christmas presents for my children
