With the end of financial year approaching, we have received many enquiries from people wishing to make a tax deductible donation before the end of June. Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions.
- Philanthropy:
- The planned and structured giving of money, time, information, goods and services, voice and influence to improve the wellbeing of humanity and the community.
Philanthropy Australia is the national peak body for philanthropy and is a not-for-profit membership organisation. Our Members are trusts and foundations, families and individuals who want to make a difference through their own philanthropy and to encourage others to become philanthropists.
Our mission is to represent, grow and inspire an effective and robust philanthropic sector for the community.
We encourage you to use this website as a launching pad into the community of philanthropy, making use of it as both a resource and networking tool. Both those new to the sector and those seeking the most up-to-date and exhaustive information will find this site invaluable.
Most importantly, Philanthropy Australia encourages you to partake in the joy of giving - be it financial or otherwise.
