Did you know that you can make a tax-deductible donation to orienteering?
The end of the financial year is rapidly approaching and Orienteering Australia is continuing its fundraising partnership with the Australian Sports Foundation.
Typically, this is the time of year when many community donors and philanthropists donate to the sports they support.
Donate by June 30 and you can claim it as part of your 2018-19 tax return.
There are a range of fundraising projects available for you to choose from that will support Australia’s elite orienteers and OA itself. Many of these projects aim to help offset the high cost of our senior and junior elites representing Australia overseas. Information on the various projects can be found here.
There are 6 OA projects currently available:
OA WOC Team Support
OA JWOC Team Support
OA High Performance Support
OA MTBO International Competition Support
Southern Arrows WOC/JWOC Representatives Support
Administration Support
West Australian elite MTBO rep Ricky Thackray is also seeking support with his overseas travel expenses and will again be representing Australia in the 2019 MTBO WOC in Denmark in July/August. Ricky’s project can be found here.
On the topic of fundraising, if any orienteer is interested in helping with OA’s fundraising by developing, managing and promoting OA’s fundraising ASF projects and working with the athletes to develop their own fundraising, please contact Paul Prudhoe (This email address is being protected from spambots.
