Make a lasting Impact

One of the most popular ways to make a tax deductible donation, is actually the most exciting. By donating monthly, you could make a difference to 1,000 children or even more in just one year. Month by month, you’ll help create change you can see.

Your donation will help to keep children in school, provide them with healthcare, food and clean water, as well as support their families. It’s a small act that makes a big difference, and if you sign up to donate monthly before June 30th, any donations made will be tax deductible.

How will my donation help children in poverty?

ChildFund Australia is one of our country’s most trusted children’s charities, because we allocate your donation across our projects for maximum impact. It’s our mission for every child to live without fear, in a safe and nurturing environment.

We take a holistic approach to reducing child poverty, which includes supporting vulnerable children directly, providing relief during emergencies and educating communities and families to affect measurable change.

Our message to the world is that all children are important.
We want every child to be able to say: “I am safe. I am educated. I contribute. I have a future.” Because every child needs a childhood.

I am safe

We support communities to keep children safe from harm, help build effective child protection systems and provide emergency humanitarian assistance in times of natural disaster and conflict.

I am educated

ChildFund implements projects to give children early childhood education and access to quality schools where they acquire essential skills in literacy and numeracy. We also provide opportunities for young people to take part in creative arts, sports and vocational training.

I contribute

Our programs give children and youth the confidence to share their opinions, and to participate in family and community decision-making on issues which affect them.

I have a future

ChildFund’s programs prioritise the health, wellbeing and resilience of children, working in partnership with their families and communities to ensure that their basic human rights are safeguarded and upheld.

    If you’re filing your tax return for the first time, have never claimed donations or donated at all, you’re probably wanting to know more about how you can claim donations to charity on your taxes. We’ve answered some of the most important questions about tax deductible donations below.

    Tax deductible donations are about giving back, to get back. Donating to ChildFund Australia will help children in urgent need of support. You’ll be helping the most vulnerable children across South East Asia and Africa, and you yourself will be able to receive a greater refund on your tax return.

    You can submit any tax deductible donation over $2 as part of your tax return.

    You can only claim for donations which are monetary gifts, given without the promise of something in return. Raffle tickets, charity chocolates, events and other donations of this kind, are not tax deductible.

    At ChildFund, all regular giving donations over $2 are tax deductible including child sponsorship, community sponsorship and donations to appeals. A few donation categories are not tax deductible, for example, birthday gifts to your sponsored child and are not included on your annual tax receipt.
