Australian Sports Foundation
The Australian Sports Foundation is a not-for-profit and registered charity that was set up by the Federal Government to raise money for sport.
The Greensborough Hockey club has access to a range of fundraising initiatives – including club raffles, special money-back offers from suppliers and tax deductible donations from anyone who wants to support them.
In simple terms, instead of giving money directly to the club, supporters give money to the Australian Sports Foundation, which allows them to claim a tax deduction.
The Sports Foundation then gives the money to the club after deducting a percentage to cover administration costs. The Greensborough Hockey Club gets the money it needs, the supporter gets a tax deduction at their marginal tax rate, and the Australian Sports Foundation receives a small fee to continue its work.
Helping the club to continue with its good work!
“Giving to sport is like a boomerang – it returns powerful psychological rewards”.
“The psychological benefits of giving include the good feeling from ‘doing the right thing’”.
“Donating is giving something back, returning what the Greensborough Hockey Club has given me, a thank you for the impact it has had on my life”
