Double your Donation for 24 Hours to Help Animals in Need Across Australia
The RSPCA’s annual Give to Get Them Home national fundraiser returns on Thursday, 1 October 2026. For 24 hours only, every dollar donated by the community will be doubled by generous sponsors, giving animal lovers a powerful chance to double their impact for vulnerable animals across the country.
Money raised during the one-day drive directly funds the rescue of animals from cruelty and neglect, essential veterinary care, training, rehabilitation, and the day-to-day enrichment pets need before finding their forever homes. In 2025 alone, more than 16,200 Australians came together to raise over $3.65 million—a milestone the RSPCA hopes to surpass this year.
How the Matching Works
On Thursday, 1 October, National Matching Partners—including Royal Canin, Peter Alexander, Bravecto, and generous individual donors—will match every donation dollar-for-dollar.
“Give to Get Them Home is a powerful opportunity for anyone who cares about animals to make an even bigger impact because their donation will go twice as far.” — RSPCA Australia CEO Richard Mussell.
“Our member Societies rescue thousands of animals across the nation every year and are confronted with shocking cases of animal cruelty and neglect... The cost of providing this care continues to rise. We simply couldn't provide the necessary treatment, training, rehabilitation, care, and enrichment without the generosity of our supporters.”
