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.
At Entrust, we help the poorest people in the hardest places with fundamental, water, education, combatting human trafficking and economic empowerment projects – enabling people to take care of themselves. This is our passion every single day, not just June 30. And we guarantee 100% of your donation gets to those who need it most.

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?
