Requirements before you register

If your organisation is not yet a registered not for profit organisation, then you will need to do this before registering online with donations.com.au. Your registration may be examined by various government agencies for bona fides. Real time eCommerce capabilities for your organisation will not be enabled until suitable evidence from the Government Agencies/ATO of registration (eg. letter/certificate from ATO/State Agencies, listing on the ATO web site) is provided.

From 1 July 2000, if an organisation is not endorsed as a DGR (Deductible Gift Recipient), it will lose any current gift deductibility and income tax exempt status. Organisations will need to apply to the ATO to be endorsed as a DGR.
