It's a good and fair question to ask any organisation involved in our kind of work or ministry; how do the funds come in and more importantly how are they are spent. Too often gifts and donations can be spent on high levels of administration or infrastructure.
ChinaHeart has a team based in Sydney Australia and workers living inside China. All our team are volunteers. No wages are paid to our team members.
In Sydney ChinaHeart is hosted in the offices of a separate and private company. We are blessed to receive administrative support which means that there is very little expense in office and clerical requirements.
The result of this is that around 90% of all funds and gifts that ChinaHeart receive are used in China. We recognise that as we grow this may not always be the case. However we will always endeavor to ensure that the highest percentage possible of funding is actually used to directly help the children in China.
How does our tax deductibility work?
When you contribute to a tax deductible project your gift will be acknowledged by ChinaHeart. The funds are forwarded to China through a partner organisation who provide the administration of our tax deductible funding in accordance with Australian Government requirements. At the end of the financial year you will receive an approved receipt for taxation purposes which will carry our name and logo as well as the partner's name, Global Development Group. This receipt will summarise your giving to Chinaheart during that financial year.
We value your support and thank you for every gift received on the childrens behalf. You're making a difference. |
