Charitable status for community sport
Consultation survey
Against a significant funding gap in the sporting sector, the ASF seeks to boost philanthropic giving. To help achieve this, the ASF proposes that ‘Community Sport’ be included as a charitable purpose under Section 12 of the Charities Act (C’th) 2013.
We're proposing a change that will allow donations from philanthropic trusts to support community clubs, and amateur athletes, unlocking over $103 million in philanthropic giving a year for the sector by 2030. Community sporting organisations and amateur athletes will continue to partner with the ASF to raise funds, with the ASF enabling tax deductibility and assisting in accessing funding from philanthropic donors.
