Matched Giving FAQs

Every dollar you donate will be matched by a generous group of supporters.

Their pledge will be activated once a donor (such as yourself!) gives an amount on the day, effectively doubling the amount you have donated.

This is the amount that our generous donors have committed to matching.

All donations over $2 are tax-deductible. You are only able to claim the amount you personally donate, and not the matched total amount.

We’d love for you to help spread the word of our Matched Giving Day with your friends, family and workmates via your usual social channels!

All donations made online at www.makeawish.org.au or by calling our Community Support team will be matched between from 10 December 8am AEST, up to the value of $50,000
