This fact sheet outlines:

• the requirements for entry on the Register of Cultural Organisations
• deductible gift recipient (DGR) endorsement
• how to apply for entry on the register and DGR endorsement
• the types of gifts that can be made to cultural organisations
• how donors can claim deductions for their gifts, and
• whether DGR endorsement affects income tax exemption.

Donors of gifts made to public funds on the Register of Cultural Organisations may be entitled to income tax deductions for their gifts.

To receive tax deductible gifts, your organisation will need to be endorsed as a DGR. You must apply to the Tax Office for endorsement.

Organisations currently on the register include choirs, dance groups, festivals, theatre groups and art exhibition venues.
