Private ancillary funds

Private ancillary funds (PAF) seek to inspire and encourage Australian philanthropists to discover the benefits and rewards of supporting the environment sector, and helps them to structure their giving.

It is a fund established by trust to which businesses, families and individuals can make tax deductible donations. You can make philanthropic donations to ACF through your own PAF, an easy way to match your passion for the environment with financial support. For more information about PAF see the Australian Tax Office website or download the Private Ancillary Funds Trustee Handbook, supplied by Philanthropy Australia.

With a PAF you can engage your whole family and even contemplate multi-year gifts to ACF. It allows you to enjoy structured charitable giving and all gifts, including property, are fully tax deductible. Donations to ACF made via a PAF can be directed to our most urgent conservation programs or you can support a program that aligns with your passion for protecting Australia’s environment.

While we recommend that independent financial advice is sought on the suitability of a PAF to an individual’s circumstances, ACF will be pleased to provide some general information on PAFs and how you can support ACF’s critical conservation programs.
