A tax-deductible donation is an easy way to help support causes you value. Donations of $2 or more made to an Australian Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) like ServeGlobe are tax deductible in Australia. This means they may reduce the amount of income tax you need to pay in Australia.
For more guidance, read our tax benefits of donating resource.
Making a tax-deductible donation is easy. Here’s how it works:
Choose a charity that’s an Australian Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) to receive your gift
Give a tax deductible donation, either online, via phone or by mail
Hold onto your receipt — you’ll need it at tax time
Remember to claim your donation at tax time
No. Even when you claim a tax deduction, ServeGlobe receives the full amount of your donation.
There are certain conditions that must be met for a donation or gift to be tax deductible. These are set out on the website of the Australian Taxation Office(ATO).
For example, the donation or gift must be made to an Australian Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR). Not all charities are DGRs. ServeGlobe Incorporated is a DGR.
The donation or gift must truly be a donation or gift (a voluntary transfer where you receive no material benefit or advantage), be money or property (this can include financial assets such as shares), and comply with any other conditions that are applicable (for example, when giving gifts of property).
The donation or gift must be for $2 or more and you must retain a record (for example, a receipt).
Yes. Our supporter service team at ServeGlobe are also always happy to send tax receipts via email or mail when you make a tax deductible gift. You should retain a copy of your receipt.
Your donation is directed to where it’s needed most. We prioritise flexibility in our funding to ensure that your donation has the maximum impact and supports ServeGlobe’s programs across Australia. Transparency about the allocation of donations is fundamental to us. For those interested in seeing exactly where the money goes, we provide a detailed breakdown of expenses.
