Give Where You Live is a Geelong charitable organisation which was originally founded in 1954. In 1983, it changed its name to United Way Geelong Region, which it remained until March, 2011, when it became Give Where You Live. The Australian componment of the United Way brand was centralising to a state model and because the Geelong office was the largest Australian United Way, the Geelong-based organisation felt the change could threaten the charity's autonomy as a local charity, where funds given in Geelong stayed in Geelong. Subsequently, they amicably disaffliated from the international brand and became Give Where You Live.
