As the Community Services Division of Channel 9 South Australia, Channel 9 Telethon supports South Australian charities in the following ways:

• Airtime for organisations to promote their businesses, profile their work and advertise individual fundraising projects and events being undertaken by them.
• Opportunities to participate in a range of fundraising projects and events. These include, among others, the Home and Land lottery, the Lifestyle Lottery, the Melbourne Cup Lunch and the Seafood Affair.

Each calendar year, the Board of Channel 9 Telethon approves a number of charities to receive support for a one year period - January to December.

In 2010 the following charities have been selected:

• Arthritis SA
• Asthma SA
• CARA
• Childhood Cancer Association
• Diabetes Counselling Online
• Edmund Rice Camps SA
• Foundation Daw Park
• GROWSA
• HeartKids of SA
• Huntington's Disease Association
• Mary Potter Foundation
• Motor Neurone Disease of SA
• Orana Incorporated
• Paraquad SA
• Parkinsons SA
• Phoenix Society
• scosa
• Southern Cross Care (SA & NT) Incorporated
• UnitingCare Wesley

Currently there is no limit on the number of years a charity can receive support and a selected charity can re-apply for further years.

When applications are being evaluated, consideration is given to the specific projects being nominated for support and the ability of the charity to take advantage of the fundraising opportunities being offered.

Since its inception in 1960 in excess of $30 million has been raised through projects and events organised by Channel 9 Telethon.

Channel 9 Telethon endorses Charity Direct.
