Thoughtful gift ideas
By choosing CBM Meaningful Gifts, you will be helping people with disabilities living in poverty in some of the world’s poorest places.
A charity gift donation is a meaningful present for a loved one that has a tremendous impact on the life of the recipient living in a developing country. Through Meaningful Gift shopping, you can partner with CBM to bring transformational change to someone with a disability. Not only will your gift giving delight your loved one, but it will bring life-changing help to some of the world’s most vulnerable people.
Our online charity gift shop has a range of products instead of traditional gifting, perfect for holiday season Christmas gifts, birthdays, Mother’s Day and other special events, all going towards supporting a good cause. Surprise your giftee with something truly special and memorable, rather than the living room table books, scented candles, toiletry bag sets or stainless steel coffee mugs that they’ve received many times before
How to choose the perfect gift
1. Choose a Meaningful Gift
Choose a gift that inspires you, or just one that fits your budget! You can find a great gift to suit any special occasion for as little as you’d spend on a sports belt bag, business card holder, or merchandise gift card.
An intraocular lens costs just $5, and such a simple, inexpensive thing is enough to restore a person’s sight during cataract surgery.
2. Personalise your Gift
Personalise every gift by selecting an e-card to send to your loved one. It’s a lovely way to create something fun and make your person feel extra special, especially if their love language is words of affirmation.
While supporting a non-profit is a worthy cause in itself, you may also wish to remind those close to you that you care about them with a message too.
3. Help change lives!
No matter which gift you choose, it goes towards supporting CBM in our mission to end the cycle of poverty and disability.
Gifts of $2 or more are eligible for tax deductions, reducing your income tax bill.
Gifts of Sight
Light! Colour! Joy! For someone who cannot see, there is no gift as beautiful as the Gift of Sight. Change lives forever and fill the world with joy.
Give men or women access to operations that can save their sight. Or help protect a child from river blindness for the entire school year.
Gifts of Mobility
There’s nothing like a good run around with friends in the fresh air. The freedom! Your Gift of Mobility can help a child to move about on their own, perhaps for the very first time in their life! The perfect present to create an unforgettable special moment.
Gifts of Life Essentials
Your Gift of Livelihoods can help families earn a living to put food on the table for growing kids – not just now but long into the future!
