Donations
Is my donation tax deductible?
Yes, providing that your donations bring no material or tangible benefits to you under the rules specified by the Australian Taxation Office, your donation may be tax deductible. Donors can claim tax deductions for gifts made to eligible gift recipients.
Gifts have the following characteristics:
- There is a transfer of money or property
- They are made voluntarily
- The transfer arises by way of benefaction
- No material benefit or advantage is received by the donor.
My donation is only modest, does that matter?
Every donation, no matter how small or large, makes a difference and is greatly appreciated.
