4 benefits to donating to charity at the end of the financial year

As the financial year ends, your generosity can go even further—for animals in need and for you.

Donating to IFAW before 30 June doesn’t just help rescue, protect, and care for animals—it could also benefit you at tax time. Here’s how:

why should I give an end-of-financial-year gift to IFAW?

1. Claim a tax deduction: Any donation of $2 or more to IFAW is tax-deductible in Australia. That means you can claim it on your tax return and potentially reduce the amount of tax you pay. It’s a simple way to turn your compassion into real financial value. When you give a gift of over $2, you receive a tax receipt to be used in your tax return. In July, we will send you a tax receipt showing all your gifts made to IFAW in the past financial year. 
2. Make a bigger impact now: With more people giving during this time of year, your support helps us scale up urgent work—like responding to disasters, rescuing wildlife, or protecting threatened habitats. It’s one of the most effective times of year to give
3. Support animals when they need it most: Winter in Australia is a critical time for many species, with increased threats from storms and animals in care needing extra support. Your donation today could help save animals like koalas, wombats, sea turtles, and more.
4. . Be part of something bigger: June giving brings together thousands of Australians in a shared act of generosity. Your gift joins a powerful movement to create a better future for animals and people alike.

what's the impact of my gift?

The generosity of our supporters is critical to enabling us to continue our important work around the world. In the past 12 months, we have been able to: 

• Supply wildlife groups and carers with critical resources to help them treat and care for sick and injured wildlife during disasters and times of need, year-round. 
• Provide on-the-ground support during earthquakes, floods, cyclones, wars, and other disasters. 
• Plant crucial wildlife corridors to reconnect and sustain essential habitats and food sources. 
• Deploy the Cape Cod marine mammal rescue team to help whales and dolphins affected by fishing gear entanglements, ocean noise, vessel collisions, and climate change. 
• Keep the Beijing Raptor Rescue Centre running to rehabilitate and release birds back to the wild. 
• Protect wild spaces in Africa to create the room elephants need to roam and ensure that the communities that share the land are also supported. 

By making a tax-deductible, end-of-financial-year gift, you could make a significant impact and be part of a caring community of individuals who are dedicated to improving the lives of animals around the world.
