If you are a not-for-profit (NFP) organisation, but not a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), and want to collect money for disaster relief, you can collect for an established DGR or start your own DGR.
You can also collect to help victims without supporters being eligible to claim a tax-deduction.
Collecting for an established DGR offers advantages as the existing fund will already have systems in place to handle gifts and get assistance to the disaster victims quickly.
You can collect money for both Australian and overseas disasters.
For overseas disasters, you can collect through:
- a developing country relief fund or organisation
- a developed country disaster relief fund
- a public ancillary fund.
For Australian disasters, you can collect through:
- a necessitous circumstances fund
- a public benevolent institution
- an Australian disaster relief fund
- a public ancillary fund.
