5.7.1. Tax deductible donations

Your organisation can only offer ‘tax deductible donations’ (for example, claiming to the public that ‘donations over $2 are tax deductible’) if it has been endorsed by the ATO as a deductible gift recipient (DGR) or if it has been listed by name in tax legislation as a DGR.

For more information about DGR status and tax deductible donations see the ATO website or visit our DGR webpage.

Unless your organisation has received DGR status, members of the public who donate to your fundraising activity are not entitled to claim a tax deduction on their donations to you and you can’t provide a tax deductible receipt.
