Fundraising for sports and cultural activities

The Australia Sports Foundation  and the Australian Cultural Fund were established in 1986 by the Commonwealth Government to support the development of sport and culture in Australia.  The ASF and ACF offer an avenue of tax deductibility to incorporated not for profit organisations that are keen to register and undertake a fundraising campaign for sports or cultural projects.
