Make a Tax Deductible Donation and Support Conservation Efforts
Are you looking to make a tax-deductible donation? Your contribution to WWF-Australia not only helps protect endangered wildlife but can also provide valuable tax benefits. Donations of $2 or more to registered charities like WWF-Australia are tax deductible, meaning you can claim them when filing your tax return.
What Is a Tax-Deductible Donation?
A tax-deductible charity donation refers to any financial contribution made to a registered Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), a charity endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). If you donate more than $2 to a registered charity like WWF-Australia, you can claim this on your tax return to reduce your taxable income.

The Australian Government encourages charitable giving by offering a tax incentive. By donating to a registered DGR, such as WWF-Australia, you can reduce your taxable income, leading to a potential tax refund. This incentive is a win-win, benefiting both you and the community.
