Donation FAQs
Are donations to Good Ancestors Policy tax deductible in Australia?
No. Under Australian tax law, donations to charities tackling existential risks, protecting future generations, or improving wellbeing are not able to be claimed as deductions. This is something we are hoping will change. In the meantime, one option is to reduce the amount you would donate by the amount you would be eligible to claim as a deduction. This allows you to support high-impact charities without being worse off yourself.
