Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) Status


  • people who make gifts or donations to your organisation are able to ‘deduct’ those gifts for their own income tax purposes (that is, the donor can claim the donation as a deduction when filing their personal income tax return), and  
  • your organisation can receive funds from certain grant makers and philanthropic bodies, which are only able to give money to organisations that have DGR status 

Note 

In general, unless your organisation is endorsed as a DGR, people donating to your organisation can't claim their donation against their tax. Find out more in our fundraising resources.
