Productivity Commission Inquiry into Philanthropy
Did you know that some charities striving to protect animals or prevent catastrophic disasters can't accept tax-deductible donations? This hurts fundraising and community organising – ultimately making them less impactful. But we have an opportunity to change that!
The Productivity Commission is conducting a landmark review of Australia's charity laws, and we're making progress! The draft report includes recommendations to expand tax-deductible status to charities like the Alliance for Animals, working to prevent animal suffering, and removing restrictions on charities like Effective Altruism Australia from doing community-building across a range of causes. But there's more to be done, and we need your support!
Dr Bidda Jones from the Alliance for Animals and Greg Sadler from Effective Altruism Australia, ran an online workshop event to explain the process so far and provide attendees with the insights and tools for your personal submission.
