Deductible gift recipients list to be updated
The list of specifically listed deductible gift recipients (DGRs) will be updated to list the following organisations as DGRs for gifts received after 30 June 2026 and before 1 July 2031:
-
CEW Bean Foundation
-
Council of First Nations Ltd
-
Hakoah Club Ltd (for gifts received after 30 June 2025 and subject to maintaining tax exempt status as a not‑for‑profit sporting organisation)
-
Jewish Education Foundation (Vic) Ltd
-
Sydney Harbour Federation Trust
-
Sydney Harbour Foundation Limited, and
-
Virtual War Memorial Limited.
The Jewish Community Foundation and Australian Jewish Funders have been named in a ministerial declaration, enabling them to seek DGR endorsement as community charities with the ATO and provide relief to the Jewish community in the aftermath of the terrorist attack at Bondi Beach on 14 December 2025.
Further, the ministerial declaration requirement will be removed from the community charity DGR process, reducing red tape for eligible community charities by removing a step in the endorsement process.
