Q7. Is my donation tax-deductible?

For Australia: All donations over AUD $2.00 are tax deductible. Tax deductibility is made possible with the kind assistance of RAWCS (Rotary Australia World Community Service). Tax receipts will be sent in due course. To ensure you receive your tax-receipt, please fill out the Donor Registration Form on the Donate page of our website before making your donation.

For all other countries: At present we can only provide tax-deductible receipts in Australia. On receipt of your donation, we will issue a general receipt by email.
