Donations

When you donate to Reef Restoration Foundation, you invest directly into our mission, which manifests in our signature Resilience & Recovery program.

Your donation goes a long way and is fully tax deductible in Australia.

Individual Donors

Anyone can donate right here on our website through Donorbox! Just choose an amount and whether it’s a once-off or monthly donation.

You can join our Care for a Coral or Build a Coral Branch features, which generate a Certificate of Appreciation that make great gifts for friends or family. Donors will receive a certificate with your name on it that can be downloaded and printed. Certificates are electronically stamped with the name of the receiver. If you are buying it as a gift for someone, please use their name in this field at the checkout.

Most business donors to Reef Restoration Foundation favour a ‘percentage-of-sales’ arrangement where they nominate the percentage, and they can budget for the donations based on sales forecasts. The arrangement can be ongoing or for a specified period, such as a sales campaign; or a once-off. That’s up to you.

Please note that the Australian Tax Office defines a donation to a charity as an investment in the mission of that organisation with no expectation of anything in return. However, when the charity is a Deductible Gift Recipient, the donation is tax deductible in Australia.

Reef Restoration Foundation provides business donors with our suite of logo files, and the donor controls how they promote the arrangement to their market. However, Reef Restoration Foundation cannot provide that service or the ATO would deem it to be sponsorship, which could have negative implications for the business donor in the event of a tax audit.

We add the business donor’s contact details to our newsletter mailing list, so they are updated on the progress of our Resilience & Recovery program.

US based donors can secure tax deductibility by donating via Bright Funds.

Policy to not act as a mere conduit

Any allocation of funds or property to other persons or organisations will be made in accordance with the established purposes of the organisation and not be influenced by the preference of the donor. The organisation will not pass a donation of money or property to other organisations, bodies or persons as a condition of a donation.
