Charitable Trusts

Charitable trusts are trusts set up to hold money or assets and carry out activities for the benefit of the community. In Australia, five main types of charitable trusts exist:

Australian charitable trust
General charitable trust
Prescribed charitable trust
Deductible gift recipient
Prescribed private fund

Each type of charitable trust brings with it different requirements and benefits. At Clarke McEwan we know the practicalities of charitable trusts. We are able to assist you by:

Preparing the trust deed
Applying to the ATO for an ABN
Organising tax exemptions where applicable

Most importantly, our experience enables us to ensure that your trust is used to effectively reach your charitable goals.
