Unlock DGR
Neighbourhood Community Houses and Centres are at the heart of their communities, but the current DGR framework often locks them out of funding they deserve.
Every week more than 400,000 people walk through the doors of a NCHC. There are over a thousand across the country serving crucial roles in local communities: providing inclusive spaces for social connection, opportunities for learning and support, and acting as the first point of contact for people facing hardship, especially in rural and regional areas. Many NCHCs have the same question: how can we get DGR status?
In this article below Jusice Connect answer some frequently asked questions to give NCHCs the understanding of the opportunities and challenges they may face in obtaining DGR status, and outline help that Not-for-profit Law can provide.
Be Part of the National DGR Campaign
ANHCA hosted an information session with Justice Connect to outline the national DGR advocacy campaign and how Neighbourhood Houses and Community Centres can get involved.
The session covered the campaign approach, opportunities for Houses and Centres to participate, and practical ways to engage with local Federal MPs.
ANHCA is proud to support Justice Connect’s Unlock DGR campaign, which calls for reform of Australia’s outdated and inconsistent Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) system.
To strengthen our advocacy, we've built a registration form to collect the details of everyone who would like to be involved.
You'll receive campaign updates, resources and templates tailored to our sector to help you engage government. We ask that you also share this amongst colleagues and other relevant stakeholders.
