Start With Your Question
Three guides, each with advice for every Australian state and major city.
Giving You Can Follow
The best donations are the ones you can follow all the way to the ground. PBG Foundation turns Australian gifts into practical projects: a safe public park in Luganville, road access for remote communities on Tanna, and help after cyclones and floods.
Every donation is received and managed in Australia by PBG Foundation Limited, an ACNC registered charity, and we report honestly on what it achieves.
General information only, not tax advice. Please confirm your own position with your accountant or the ATO.

PBG Foundation Limited focuses on alleviating poverty, responding to disasters, improving health and creating opportunities for vulnerable communities across the Pacific.
Define Impact
We define meaningful impact by how well our projects become part of everyday life: spaces and services that people use, value and care for.
Measure Impact
Our approach combines practical observation, community feedback and structured review, recognising that some outcomes take time to emerge.
Our Commitment
Impact is not claimed, it is earned. We are committed to honest reporting, responsible stewardship of resources and continual learning.
“True humanitarian work is not about charity alone. It is about responsibility: to people, to place, and to the future we are helping shape.”

Yes. PBG Foundation Limited is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). You can look us up on the ACNC Charity Register.
What makes a donation tax deductible in Australia?
A gift is generally deductible when it is $2 or more, made voluntarily to an organisation endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), with nothing material received in return, and you keep a record of it.
How can I donate from Australia?
You can give online or by direct bank transfer from anywhere in Australia. Both options are on the PBG Foundation donate page, and our team can help with larger or recurring gifts.
Is my donation to PBG Foundation deductible?
Ask us for current receipting details before you give, and check your own position with your accountant or the ATO. This site provides general information, not tax advice.
When do I need to give to claim it this financial year?
The gift has to be made by 30 June to count in that financial year. Giving earlier than the final week of June leaves time to confirm receipts and plan larger gifts.
