Run, ride or plant for us
Your own page, with every dollar receipted to the person who gave it.
Is my gift tax deductible?
Gifts of $2 or more to our gift fund are tax deductible in Australia. Dinner tickets and raffle tickets aren't gifts, so they can't be claimed; the picker says so before you pay.
How do I stop a monthly gift?
In Your gift above, press Stop my gift, or call us. It stops straight away and we won't try to talk you out of it.
Will you call me?
Only if you ask us to. Tell us how you'd like to hear from us (email, post, phone or not at all) and we'll stick to it.
What do you do with my details?
We use them to process your gift, send your receipt and, if you agree, tell you how the creeks are going. We never sell or swap them.
