Common questions about the application process
This page provides answers to common questions the ACNC receives about the application process
Incorporated associations
An incorporated association is an organisation incorporated under state or territory law, that is usually not-for-profit. Many charities registered with the ACNC are incorporated associations.
Legal structure
The legal structure you choose for your charity should meet your charity’s needs, and allow for future development. Charities have a range of structures, incorporated or unincorporated, and there may be more than one that works for your charity.
Unincorporated associations
An unincorporated association is one type of organisational structure for a charity. Unlike an incorporated structure, an unincorporated association is not a separate legal entity from its members.
Why register
There are a number of benefits to registering as a charity with the ACNC.
Is my donation tax deductible?
Looking to make a donation to charity? Some donations to charity can be claimed as tax deductions on your individual tax return each year. For a donation to be tax deductible, it must be made to an organisation endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), and must be a genuine gift – you cannot receive any benefit from the donation.
Donating and volunteering
This guidance provides information for members of the public who want to donate to or volunteer with a charity.
