YOUR GENEROSITY IS APPRECIATED

Your valuable contribution is key to building the Christian leaders of tomorrow through the provision of an excellent, Christ-centred education at Channel.

Whether you choose to support students by way of a scholarship or accelerate the development of new or existing buildings, all donations of $2.00 or more are tax-deductible.

Importantly, donations to the Beautification Fund are not tax-deductible but form an important contribution to our student life and community.

Christian Schools Tasmania underwrites all administrative costs so that 100% of your gift goes directly towards your chosen interest.

If you don’t see an option that is suitable for the way you’d like to give, please contact us.

Other ways to get involved

Being generous with your finances is not the only way to contribute to the advancement of our schools and students. Your skills, expertise and time are equally important.

For one-off donations, you will receive a tax receipt once your donation has been processed. If you make a recurring gift, you will receive your receipt at the end of the financial year.

Although we can provide general information to support you in your giving journey, we advise that you consult your financial adviser or accountant.

What about gift governance?

Channel Christian School and Christian Schools Tasmania endeavour to administer all gifts consistently in accordance with Australian law and to honour the intentions of donors where possible.

Channel Christian School and Christian Schools Tasmania reserve the right to decline gifts where acceptance may compromise our fundamental principles.

All gifts from donors will be acknowledged by an official receipt to the donor. Where appropriate, further acknowledgement, recognition and publicity will also be undertaken.

Channel Christian School and Christian Schools Tasmania endeavour to maintain openness and transparency with donors. Where appropriate, we will provide reports about the way gifts have contributed to our success and gifts will be appropriately reported in our published financial statements.

What about privacy and transparency?

We respect the privacy of our donors. Where requested, a donor and the details of their gift will be kept private and confidential. Donor information is highly privileged knowledge and will only be used by us to maintain contact with donors.

We will also provide periodic updates to donors on the impact of gifts through tailored communications, as well as through our newsletter and social media platforms. To connect with us, please provide your contact details when making your donation.

Channel Christian School and Christian Schools Tasmania occasionally reach out to our community and donors to raise funds for specific priority projects. This is one way you can stay connected with your school and the Association and keep up to date with the latest developments. It also provides you with an opportunity to provide feedback, update your details and find out about upcoming events.

For further information or to opt-out of receiving future communications please contact us.

Doesn’t the school receive money from fees and the Government?

The money we receive from fees and government funding only covers our operational expenses. This is largely because we ensure that our fees are affordable for those who value Christian education. In turn this makes funding larger scale projects such as refurbishments and new building projects challenging.
