Benefits of a Gift Account

A Gift Account gives you all the advantages of structured philanthropy without the complexity of running your own foundation. From tax savings to flexibility and professional support, here’s why donors choose The Gift Trust.

Immediate Tax Benefits

Get your donation tax receipt as soon as you contribute, even if you choose where to give later. This means you can optimise your tax position now, and take your time deciding which causes to support.

Flexible Giving

Gift Accounts adapt as your priorities change. You can give to multiple charities, in New Zealand or overseas, and update your focus whenever you want.

Grow Your Charitable Funds

Donations over $20,000 can be invested responsibly and tax-free in term deposits, socially responsible funds, or adviser-managed portfolios, potentially increasing the amount available to grant.
