We believe in making the world
a better place, together.

Small Change. Big Impact.

By itself, small change doesn’t feel like much. But when we all combine our small change, we can positively impact thousands of lives. In this way, even the smallest gesture of giving means so much more. Your change can make change. It’s the difference we can all make.

Power of the Collective.
Radical Transparency.
100% Not for Profit.


Our Founder, Zara Torre created The Difference after being asked for spare change by a displaced person on the street. She reached into her bag, but like most folks these days, didn’t have any loose coins on her. This simple m sparked the creation of The Difference.

Over 93% of Australians want to give to those who need it, but we find it confusing which can stop us. We feel like we can’t give enough due to our financial situation, we don’t want to be locked into giving contracts, and frankly, we mistrust where our money is really going.

By itself, small change doesn’t feel like much. But when we all combine our small change, we can positively impact thousands of lives. In this way, even the smallest gesture of giving means so much more. 

And The Difference was born.

100% Not

For Profit

We don’t take profit, we’re not in it for our cut. The Difference is proudly a charity, and non-for-profit organisation registered with the ACNC (Australian Charities and Non-for-profits Commission). 

We’re here to make change in the world around us and only supporting ‘lean’ charities that responsibly spend their dollar on projects, not on large overheads.
