DONATE
The work of Help Orphans Now is supported primarily by donations. Help Orphans Now is operated entirely by volunteers in Australia, so administration costs are kept to a minimum.
You may donate by making a direct deposit to our bank account. For more information on how to do this, contact us.
Please indicate whether you wish to make your donation non-tax deductible or tax deductible. The money will be channelled to projects differently depending on your choice.
If you are donating from overseas, we are only able to receive non-tax deductible donations, paid into the Help Orphans Now Account. Overseas donations will require the Swift code identified below.
Under Australian Tax Office rules, tax-deductible donations may only be used to fund development and relief activities. Welfare activities may only be funded using non-tax deductible donations.
-
Development activities aim to produce benefits that will endure after development assistance has ceased. Examples include education and vocational training, including facilitating tutoring centres.
-
Relief activities provide basic support to people in emergency situations, such as shelter, food and clothing.
-
Welfare activities provide for individuals on a long-term basis. Examples include the running of orphanages.
Non-tax deductible donations
Your donation will be used for both welfare and development projects in Sri Lanka. Non tax-deductible donations will not have any fees directly deducted. However, some expenses for running these projects may be met through these funds (eg. bank fees).
