How your new Named Fund works #
Give #
Contribute to your Fund at any time and receive an immediate tax deduction.* You can also invite others to contribute.
Grow #
As you grow your Fund, your money is pooled with all Funds in our Foundation and responsibly invested for people and planet.
Grant #
You can plan when your money is granted out based on your giving goals and the needs of the organisations addressing the causes you care about.
* Donations to Extension Funds are not tax-deductible.
Sub-funds: Key benefits #
Congratulations on your new Sub-fund or Gumnut Account! You’ve chosen an easy, tax-effective and strategic way to support the causes you care about.
- Give now, decide later: When you donate to your Fund, you receive an immediate tax deduction*, then can decide where you’d like to give at a time that’s right for you.+
- Responsible investing: Your donations are responsibly invested, meaning your money does good in the community while it waits to be granted out to the causes of your choosing.
- Access our expertise: We take care of all administration and compliance, and can help maximise your impact by providing granting advice and support, and connecting you with organisations doing great work.
- Build a lasting legacy: Your balance can be invested for the long term so you can support the causes you care about beyond your lifetime. A Fund can also be a great way to honour a loved one, or get your family involved in giving. Learn more about Succession and legacy planning.
* Donations to Extension Funds are not tax-deductible.
+ Gumnut Accounts can begin granting when the balance reaches $20,000 and the Account becomes a Sub-fund.
