Since 1 July 2008, we stopped issuing receipts for individual gifts to reduce costs and simplify processes. Instead, you’ll receive an Annual Tax Statement that contains a summary of tax-deductible donations you made to us during the financial year.
If you live in New South Wales, you will continue to receive receipts for certain types of individual gifts in compliance with NSW fundraising laws.
Group donations:
Many of our generous supporters give as a group with friends, family or work colleagues. This is done by pooling donations and having one person from the group send us the pooled amount. Each year, we spend considerable resources (in staff time and postage) responding to requests for Annual Tax Statements to be issued to members of such groups.
If you regularly donate in this way, you can help us save on administration costs by contacting us at the start of the financial year. That way, we’ll have time to prepare Annual Tax Statements for each group member. You’ll also ensure more of your donations can be used directly to help children and communities.
