Donations and Refunds
People

Australian Dollars (AUD).
We only use
your information to process your donations and may communicate with you about
our charitable objectives.
Donations
by individuals can be made in the form of one-off or recurring donations.
People First will determine where the funds are directed within its services.
If a donation is designated to a specific project, please indicate this in the
note section of your donation and People First will use reasonable endeavours
to direct that donation to the designated.
People
First can provide official receipts for approved donations of $2.00 or more. People
First accepts anonymous donations but is unable to issue a tax-deductible
receipt to the donor in such circumstances.
Refunds
People
First thoroughly considers all requests for a refund and will ensure that
genuine errors are corrected. If you would like to request a refund please
provide details of how you made the donation, the amount, the date and the
circumstances justifying your request.
If a
donation is refunded, the associated tax receipt is no longer valid and should
be securely destroyed. Please note it is your responsibility to submit correct
receipts to the ATO (Australia Taxation Office).
Donations we cannot accept
In line
with the Fundraising Institute Australia code we will not accept a donation
where:
- there is a reasonable belief that the donor is in vulnerable
circumstances or lacks capacity to make a decision to donate; or
- accepting the donation would compromise the interests and
objectives of our cause
- the cost of accepting the donation will be greater than the value
of the donation; or
- there is reason to believe that accepting the donation may give
rise to litigation.
People
First cannot accept funds raised in a way that is contrary to our values or may
be seen to compromise or contradict the work that we do. This includes but not
limited to the following areas:
- Illegal activities
- Violence, weapons, and armaments
- Discrimination against vulnerable people
- Irresponsible use or sale of alcohol and/or drugs
- Risks to children and young people
- Association with nudity, inappropriate sexualisation of children or
young people or pornography.
