With the end of the financial year fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to donate to your favourite cause. There are loads of benefits to embracing end of financial year donations for both you and your chosen charity. So as we head towards the 30th June we’re encouraging you to dig deep!

What is an end of financial year donation?

End of financial year donations are donations which an individual or organisation makes to support their chosen charity. This is done before 30th June to ensure the donated funds are calculated against the current tax year.

What are the benefits?

By making a donation before the 30th June, you will benefit in many ways:

  • The donation you make will reduce your taxable income. This is done by helping to shift the rate in which your earnings are taxed each year. This is particularly helpful if you’re on the brink of a higher tax bracket as your assessable income will be reduced. This means you pay less income tax and therefore get a bigger tax return (or reduce your tax bill);
  • Considering the Government forfeits any tax on the charitable dollar, the amount you give will go even further. Good2Give demonstrate this with the following example: ‘depending on your tax bracket, what’s between $55 – $68 to you becomes $100 for your charity’;
  • If your employee participates in Workplace Giving you also have the opportunity to double the impact of your donation through initiatives such as dollar matching.
