4P AUSSIE KIDZ UPDATE - DGR & TCC Approved

I know it'ts been a while since I have blogged an update on where we are at with '4P AUSSIE KIDZ'

The reason being... 2 months ago we hit a speedbump. We had applied to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for Deductible Gift Recipient status (DGR) and to be a Tax Concession Charity (TCC). However our application was knocked back and we were advised that we had to apply under a different DGR category. After many hours of putting our second application together and reading through our rules and statement of purpose and making ammendments, all our hard work paid off. Yesterday I received a phone call from the ATO advising that our application has been approved.

This is a massive WIN for us... There are many advantages to DGR status. DGR status has 2 key advantages: Firstly people are more likely to donate to your oganisation if you have DGR status (because they get a tax deductible receipt), and secondly, most philanthropic grantmakers require their applicants to have DGR status.

So now 4P AUSSIE KIDZ has a board, a logo, and DGR and TCC status....

What next....???

• Sit down with the board to discuss the below steps
• The next step is to build a website... I have a few people seeing where they can help here
• Start planning a fundraiser launch... Golf day/dinner
• Contact golf clubs to hold launch
• Contact business's for items to auction off at fundraiser launch and use as prizes
• Contact business's for sponsorship for fundraiser launch
• Promote 4P AUSSIE KIDZ to WHS families, to let them know our plan of action for fundraising and how those funds will help their kiddies with WHS
• Promote 4P AUSSIE KIDZ to the wider community to raise awareness about WHS and in turn hopefully raise funds

To add to this... if you feel you have items that you could donate to auction off at our fundraiser launch, please email us at 4paussiekidz@gmail.com

Items that we are after are sporting, movie and music memorabilia, holidays or holiday vouchers, good's & services of any value, hampers, wine etc... If you feel you can assist in any way please email us

We have definately come along way since the initial 'dream' of what we wanted to acheive. But in no terms are we done yet... this is just a small step to the bigger picture. This has not been all done by myself either... My cousins husband, Jonathan has been the other driving force behind this all. Jonathan has as much passion about making 4P AUSSIE KIDZ a reality as I do.
