Who can donate to the ASF?

07 Jun 2011

The ASF can offer tax deductibility for donations of $2 or over with donations being able to be made by:

  • cash
  • cheque
  • money order
  • credit card (there is a 2% administrative fee for all credit card donations which is charged to the project)

The following considerations apply to ASF to enable a tax deduction to be claimed:

  • donations must be made unconditionally to the ASF
  • donations must be voluntary
  • donations must be accompanied by a completed, approved donation form

Donations are not subject to GST.

Donors contribute to the ASF for a variety of reasons which may include:

  • a desire to assist Australian sport generally
  • a desire to assist a particular organisation, sport or project
  • a desire to contribute to a sport played by themselves or by a friend or relative
  • a desire to ‘put back something into’ their own childhood sport
  • the attraction of the tax deductibility
  • philanthropy
  • a desire for a company or business to demonstrate good community citizenship

‘There is no question that the level of donations received was higher than expected because of the benefit of each donation being tax deductible. This has been a key factor in the project growing from concept to reality.
