What are tax deductions?

Tax deductions are a way to reduce your assessable income and the amount of tax that you pay. Donations of $2.00 or more, made to an organisation registered as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), are tax deductible. IWDA is endorsed as a DGR by the Australian Tax Office (ATO).

How do I claim a deduction for a gift or donation?

  1. Make a donation to IWDA and keep your tax receipt in a safe place.
  2. Collect your tax documentation, including your tax file number, receipts and PAYG payment summary from your employer.
  3. Add up the amounts of all gifts and donations you are entitled to claim.
  4. Write this total at item J, section D9 Gifts or Donations, when you lodge your tax return online, by completing a paper tax return form or through a registered tax agent

How and when can I claim?

All donations of $2.00 or more made by 30 June 2019 can be claimed in your tax return for FY 2018-19. You can make this claim by completing your tax return directly through the ATO or through a registered tax agent.

Does claiming a tax deduction on a donation affect the amount of money IWDA receives?

No. Your full donation will go towards supporting the work of IWDA.

Why should I make a tax deductible donation to IWDA?

IWDA is the leading Australian agency entirely focussed on women’s rights and gender equality in the Asia Pacific region. IWDA’s partner organisation Nazareth Centre for Rehabilitation run the only safe houses in Bougainville, where a shocking two in three women are experiencing gender-based violence. Your donation can:

  • help provide emergency clothing and bedding at a safe house
  • help provide food for a woman and her children
  • help fund a safe house counsellor to work with a family to create a safer home environment.

Change starts here with you – please donate by 30 June 2019.

Every woman deserves to be safe in her home
