Start with an initial $2,000 investment with the intention to grow over time
null
Commit to minimum contributions of $2,000 p.a
null

null
Seek tax-deductible donations from friends, family or even public fundraising
null
Receive an immediate tax deduction upon donation

Track all tax receipts and donations in one secure online portal
null

When will my Gumnut Account mature to a sub-fund?
