It includes practical tips on individual giving, setting up trusts, business giving and corporate volunteering, along with in-depth analysis of one hundred Australian charities. <br><br>Written by <b>Lyn Amy</b> and <b>Mary Pearce</b>, with fundraising and financial information supplied by <i>Givewell</i>, the premise of this in-depth guide is that more people would give if they had more information about the charities and how best to support them. <br><br>The Guide was launched in Melbourne yesterday, in conjunction with the announcement of the Charity Award Winners, and includes information on 100 key Australian not-for-profits, drawn from Givewell s charity profiles. It also profiles previous Givewell Charity Award winners and outlines the process and winners for 2008. <br><br>Full details of the awards process, criteria and previous winners are available on the <a href="http://www.givewell.com.au/Awards/CharityAwards.html" title="http://www.givewell.com.au/Awards/CharityAwards.html">Givewell website</a>, along with media releases and detailed background information outlining the winners. <o:p></o:p></span></p> For more information about the Awards, or Givewell s research for <b>The Good Giving Guide</b>, please contact:<br><br> Michael Walsh, Executive Director Tel: 0411 303 989<br> Margaret Harlow, Research Analyst Tel: (02) 6682 5460<br> Email: <a href="mailto:research@givewell.com.au">research@givewell.com.au</a><br> Web: <a href="http://www.givewell.com.au" title="http://www.givewell.com.au">www.givewell.com.au</a><br> <br><br><table> <tr> <td height="45" width="1000" align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="black"> <p></p> <br><font color="white" size="-3" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">©</font><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-2" color="white">Copyright</font><font color="white" size="-3" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font><font color="white" size="-2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font color="white">2008</font></font><font size="-2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font><font size="-2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="http://www.givewell.com.au"><font color="#FF8331">Givewell Research Centre</font></a></font><font size="-2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <font color="white">All Rights Reserved A.B.N. 53 082 145 775</font></font><br><br> <font color="white" size="-2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <font color="white">Givewell is the philanthropy research unit of the</font> <a href="http://www.lifecraft.com.au"><font color="#FF8331">Lifecraft Group</font></a></font><br><br> <font color="#FF8331" size="-2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="http://www.givewell.com.au/services.asp"><font color="#FF8331">Subscribe</font></a> </font><font color="black" size="-2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font color="#FF8331">|</font> <a href="mailto:research@givewell.com.au?subject=REMOVE%20FROM%20LIFECRAFT%20MEDIA%20LIST"><font color="white"></font><font color="#FF8331">Unsubscribe</font></a> </font><font color="black" size="-2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font color="#FF8331">|</font> <a href="mailto:research@givewell.com.au"><font color="#FF8331">Help</font></a> <p></p></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
