NOTE: Only gifts made to DGRs are tax deductible.

where an organisation is endorsed as a DGR in its own right, and
where an organisation is endorsed as a DGR only in relation to a fund, authority or institution it operates. In this instance, only gifts to the fund, authority or institution are tax deductible.
You can check if an organisation is an endorsed DGR by:
visiting www.abn.business.gov.au Enter either the organisation’s Australian business number (ABN) or name in the search box.
The current ABN details are displayed if only one record matches your search criteria. Scroll down to ‘Deductible Gift Recipient’. If the organisation is a DGR, information about its current DGR status is recorded here.
A ‘Search Results’ list is displayed if more than one record matches your search criteria. Select the organisation’s ABN to access its current ABN details and scroll to ‘Deductible Gift Recipient’. If the organisation is a DGR, information about its current DGR status is recorded here.
by phoning the Tax Office on 13 28 61.
A complete list of endorsed DGRs can be downloaded from the ABN Lookup website. Two lists are available: (1) entities that are DGR endorsed in their own right and (2) entities that are DGRs in relation to the operation of a fund, authority or institution. The information is updated daily. See the ‘Deductible Gift Recipients’ page on the ABN Lookup website.
