Support the Bas

The Bas relies on the support of individuals like you to make our programs possible. While government funding and participation fees cover a small portion of our costs, it is through generous donations from individuals, foundations, and corporate partners that we are able to provide a wide range of programs and development activities each year.

From as little as $5 to creating a living will, sponsorship or recurring giving, your contribution helps us realise our donation goals.

Yes, donations over $2 are tax-deductible in Australia. You will receive a receipt in your name. Please note that the minimum donation on our donation platform is $5.

If you donate to an organisation classified as a ‘deductible gift recipient’ (like the Basil Sellers Exhibition Centre), you can claim a tax deduction on your tax return for that year for your donation. Donating to a deductible gift recipient will likely reduce your overall taxable income, which in turn may reduce the amount of tax you are required to pay.

You must donate at least $2 and keep proof in the form of a receipt or bank statement. When you donate to the Bas, we’ll send you a tax receipt. The more you donate, the more you may claim back. Find out more
