Tax Deductible Donations With mycause

How can I Claim Tax Deductible Donations on My Tax Return With mycause?

Mycause is an easy-to-use, online donation platform that allows you to donate to one charity or all your favourite charities in one, easy transaction. We provide you with one tax receipt ready for EOFY. Lodge the receipt yourself or send it to your accountant and then can sit back and watch the amazing work your chosen charities do. 

 

Support Your Community With Charity Donations   

Millions of Australians make charitable donations every year to help support the many varying charities in Australia. Not only does this generosity provide vital resources to hospitals, shelters, schools, research facilities, emergency services, animal protection organisations and more, charity donations are also tax-deductible - so you can get a tax break while making a difference in your community.

As Australia and the rest of the world fights against the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as the social and economic consequences that have unfortunately come along with it, it has never been more important to support your favourite charities in any way you can. Your ATO tax-deductible donations can make all the difference in fighting this epidemic and helping those in need to survive.

 

Who Is mycause?

mycause is a donation and fundraising platform, designed to make giving charitable donations easier. We accept donations to over 5000 charity partners, all through our easy-to-use website.

So rather than having to sort through multiple charities, entering bank details on multiple different websites, or sending several cheques across the country, using our Portfolio Donation feature mycause allows you to pick a range of your favourite charities, choose how much you want to give, then make one, simple transaction.

Your donation goes straight to your chosen charities, and you receive one tax receipt. It’s the easiest way to support the charities you love, without being overwhelmed with multiple receipts when it comes to EOFY.   

Tax-deductible donations (sanctioned through the ATO), save you money and help the charities you care about to keep doing their amazing work. 

 

Which Charities Does mycause Work With?

mycause works with 5000+ Australian charities, including Cancer Council, Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation, Uniting Care Australia, the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Australian Red Cross, Domestic Violence Victoria, the RSPCA and many, many more in every sector.

Our platform makes their lives easier, streamlining the process by which they receive donations, making it quick and simple for their supporters to donate or fundraise for them.  

These charities are doing incredible work throughout our communities. During the current pandemic, medical charities are helping to fund research into vaccines and treatments for COVID-19, social support charities are feeding families who are stuck at home unable to work, some are supporting elderly, isolated individuals separated from loved ones, whilst others provide refuge for those in difficult living conditions.

The list of crucial services that our charities provide go on and on. These organisations are at the heart of our communities, and every dollar you donate helps them continue their amazing work.

 

How Does mycause Work?

Mycause makes donating quick and easy. All you need to do is pick which charities you’d like to support, set up your account in less than a minute using your email address, and make your donation.

We’ll then email you your tax receipt, which you can use to claim your donation as a tax deduction in your tax return.

Mycause has a unique feature "Portfolio Giving" which allows our donors (you) to choose multiple charities at once, and donate in one transaction. This means you only get one receipt, rather than many different ones to keep track of, so when it comes to EOFY, your job is simpler.

Mycause takes care of disbursing the funds to the charities, so once you’ve made your donation, you’re done. All you have to do is sit back and watch the charities you supported do what they do best - support our communities.

June 30 is the end of the financial year in Australia, known as EOFY. So with just over a month to go, now is the perfect time to make your tax deductible donation via mycause, and support your favourite causes.

 

Charitable Donations in Australia

Charities have always been an important part of Australian society. Not only do they provide services in health & medical, research, welfare, education, disability, advocacy, environment, refugees, mental health and more, they are also one of the nation’s major employers, providing jobs and incomes for thousands of citizens. 

The annual Australian Communities 2020 report indicates that transparency, integrity, reputation and delivering strong outcomes are important to the public and their charitable giving. The report shows that Australians are more motivated to support charities who protect and preserve the environment. Environmental charities have moved from the 12th most popular cause in 2019 to the seventh most popular cause in 2020.. Over two-thirds of Australian givers (67%) prefer supporting Australian charities who do their work within Australia as they believe it is vital to care for Australia and Australians first.

Our charitable organisations are something to be proud of. This is why the Australian Tax Office (ATO) supports individual donations with charity tax deductions.
