A ticket booking fee can help fund more than an event.

fee → help → event
Humanitix, a not-for-profit ticketing platform, says it has directed US$13.8 million in profits to charitable causes, supporting work in education, healthcare, poverty alleviation and other areas.

The company's current 2026 Impact Report puts the detailed total at US$13,822,038.

Hugh Jackman joined Humanitix as its Head of Impact in April 2026, several years after the organisation began directing profits to charity.
asserted
organisation → join → charity
In his own announcement, Jackman said he wanted to “help build” the organisation rather than support it from the sidelines.
asserted
he → say → sidelines
Humanitix says its model dedicates 100% of the profits from its booking fees to charity, while the fees themselves help cover the costs of running the ticketing platform.
asserted
fees → say → platform
How Humanitix turns booking fees into charitable giving
Humanitix charges a booking fee on paid tickets sold through its platform.
asserted
Humanitix → turn → platform
According to its current fee guidance, the fee covers payment-processing and merchant costs when an event uses Humanitix's own payment gateway, as well as the company's staff, servers and other tools used to operate the platform.
uncertain
event → accord → platform
The company says 100% of the profit generated from those fees is donated.
asserted
% → say → fees
Humanitix says its own payment gateway covers payment-processing costs within the booking fee, while events that use Stripe as their payment gateway incur Stripe's processing fees separately.
asserted
that → say → fees
The company also says booking fees are normally passed on to ticket buyers, although event organisers can choose to absorb them.
asserted
organisers → say → them
Humanitix describes itself as a registered charity and not-for-profit organisation.
asserted
Humanitix → describe → profit
It says it has no shareholders and does not pay dividends to investors.
asserted
it → say → investors
Its 2025 explanation of its donation model says revenue from booking fees is pooled with operating costs to determine how much can be donated to partner charities.
asserted
much → say → charities
That means the amount generated by an individual event cannot simply be equated with a fixed portion of its booking fees.
asserted
amount → mean → fees

Humanitix's 2026 Impact Report provides a breakdown of the profits it says it has distributed.
asserted
it → provide → profits
Poverty alleviation accounts for 39.74%, or US$5,492,240.57, while education accounts for 36.97%, or US$5,109,863.55.

asserted
Healthcare → represent → %
A further 4.2%, or US$580,708.13, is listed under support for Indigenous groups.
asserted
% → list → groups
The remaining 1.91%, or US$264,133.56, is categorised as other giving, including environmental and human-rights causes.
asserted
% → categorise → causes
The figures are published directly in Humanitix's 2026 Impact Report.
asserted
figures → publish → Report
The report lists a broader set of areas supported through Humanitix's charitable programme, including food security, safety and dignity, the environment, children and youth services and what the company calls life's basic necessities.
asserted
company → list → what
Its listed charity partners include The Life You Can Save, GiveDirectly, Room to Read, Educate Girls, Food 4 Education, Healthy Learners and other organisations working in education, healthcare and poverty alleviation.
asserted
You → list → education
Humanitix's descriptions of individual partners give examples of the work supported.
asserted
descriptions → give → work
Food 4 Education, for example, provides school meals in Kenya, while Healthy Learners works with the Zambian government on school-based healthcare.
asserted
Learners → provide → healthcare
Educate Girls works in rural India to support girls' education, and Room to Read focuses on literacy and girls' education in low-income communities.
asserted
Room → work → communities
These descriptions come from Humanitix's own partner listings rather than independent assessments of the organisations' overall effectiveness.
asserted
descriptions → come → effectiveness
In a letter dated April 21, 2026, Jackman announced his appointment as Humanitix's Head of Impact.
asserted
Jackman → date → Impact
In his letter published by Humanitix, he explained that the more he learned about the organisation, the more he wanted to become involved in building it.
asserted
he → publish → it
Jackman also described Humanitix's model as different from a conventional company that makes money and later donates a portion to charity.
asserted
that → describe → charity
He wrote that the organisation directs its profits towards its mission and said the model was the reason he wanted to take an active role.
asserted
he → write → role
At the time of his appointment, Jackman wrote that Humanitix had collectively directed more than A$20 million towards projects addressing global poverty and education.
asserted
Humanitix → write → poverty
Humanitix's current Australian-facing pages display a more precise Australian-dollar figure of A$20,796,400, while the US impact materials give the detailed total as US$13,822,038.
asserted
materials → face → 13,822,038
The figures are different currency expressions of the reported donation total, not separate amounts that should be added together.
asserted
that → report → total
Jackman's appointment therefore came after the organisation had already accumulated most of the reported giving.
asserted
organisation → come → giving
His stated role is to help build Humanitix's impact as the organisation continues its work.
asserted
organisation → help → work
Humanitix also reports discounted support for non-profits
The company's charitable model extends beyond direct donations.
asserted
model → report → donations
Humanitix offers eligible charities, schools and other non-profit organisations a discounted booking-fee rate.
asserted
Humanitix → offer → rate
Its 2026 Impact Report says eligible organisations have used the discounted rate to run more than 300,000 events.
asserted
organisations → say → events
…and 12 more, not listed.
