Bequests in your will
Should you wish to donate to the ACBM part of your assets whether they be property or monetary, upon your death, the ACBM have prepared suggested wording to aid your efforts. This can be found at the bottom of this page.
Distribution from Family Trusts
For further information on distribution of funds from your family trust, please contact treasurer@acbm.org.au for more details. As the ACBM has Income Tax exempt status such distribution are not taxed.
A dollar-A-Day
If we all committed ourselves to a dollar a day towards the work of the ACBM we would have more than enough to cover the work of the mission. You can simply do this by making a monthly donation to the mission of $30. You could do this via a regular credit card donation, EFT or direct deposit. You can select the purpose for which you wish to have these funds applied or simply contribute them to the general fund and leave it to the mission to determine the areas of greatest need.
Support Fund Raising Activities
Apart from the ongoing and much appreciated donations from brethren and sisters and ecclesias, the ACBM actively hosts fund raising activities throughout Australasia. These include our annual ACBM Mission Fraternal Tour, ACBM sale of work/fares and various other activities conducted mainly by ACBM Regional Committees. Your support for these activities is also greatly appreciated.
Are donations to the ACBM tax deductible?
Donations made to the ACBM by Australia or New Zealand taxpayers are not tax deductible. The ACBM does not fit the criteria for being an overseas aid fund. For the financially minded, a paper has been written on our ineligibility for Australia. This can be found at the bottom of this page.
