WE GRANT IN TWO WAYS

Through a PAF

Fairground supports organisations with large grants via a private ancillary fund (PAF). Importantly, only deductible gift recipients (DGRs) are eligible to receive funds this way as outlined in the Taxation Administration (Private Ancillary Fund) Guidelines

DIRECTLY

A non-PAF vehicle allows us to grant to smaller organisations, or political organisations, or those who might not yet have DGR status. If you think this might be you send us an email to connect.
