What’s News – June 2023
It seems everyone is telling us to “Make the most of Tax Time!”
We hear a lot of loud voices, with many worthy organisations vying for our attention. June 30 helps focus our generosity so we can maximise our tax return. It is a great strategy, so let me suggest three things to consider before making your end of June giving choices:

1.Why do you give?
– What is on your heart?
– Who is it you wish to help?
– Please remember the poor as part of your plan!
2.Who can you trust with your hard-earned dollars?
– Don’t allow the loudest voice to unduly influence you.
– Who keeps you updated on the direct impact of your giving?
– How much of your gift reaches the point of need?
3.What impact will your donation have?
– We all want our gifts to positively change lives – there is so much need.
– Is your money ploughing into local issues or imposing western ideals?
– Maximise your impact; check the percentage going on administration.
Measuring impact can be challenging because life-change and community development does not happen overnight and cannot be measured with a few statistics. Think of your donation like sowing seeds. With the right care, nurture and support, we can yield a bountiful harvest. Entrust has been consistently sowing seeds for over 15 years, alongside our trusted partners.

Despite tough times and rising costs in Australia, can I invite you to be generous this tax time? With so much need around the world, who can you stand in the gap for?
