When donating to the Buderim Foundation, you can ‘Give where you live’ in the Buderim region. You can allocate your donation to one of two accounts.

Buderim Foundation Ltd Open Trust (non-tax-deductible donations)
The income generated from this Trust is used to provide grants to community organisations which do NOT have tax-deductible gift recipient (DGR) status under Australian tax law. This Open Trust, therefore, enables the Foundation to give grants to a wider cross section of community organisations in the Buderim region.

Buderim Foundation Ltd Public Trust (tax-deductible donations)
As the Foundation is registered under the Commonwealth Corporations Act 2001, donations can be tax-deductible and so if you wish to receive a tax deduction then the Public Trust is the account to use. However, income from this Trust can only be used to provide grants to community organisations that have deductible gift recipient (DGR) status under the Australian tax law.
