Deductible gift recipients (DGRs) are entities or funds that can receive tax deductible gifts. To be considered a DGR, an entity or fund will generally be endorsed by the Tax Office and listed on the ABN Lookup website.
There are two types of DGR:
an entity that has DGR endorsement in its own right
an entity that is only a DGR in relation to a fund, authority or institution it operates.
Before donating, use ABN Lookup search to verify the DGR status of an entity or fund. Alternatively, you can download the complete listing of DGR entities and funds which is updated daily.
For information on donating to a DGR, claiming deductions for gifts, or obtaining DGR status, see the Tax Office website.
