New ATO data shows Private Ancillary Funds distributed more than $914 million in FY2023 – 24, highlighting the growing role of structured giving in Australian philanthropy and the opportunity for advisers working with high-net-worth clients.

“Why would I set up a giving structure rather than giving money directly to charity? Aren’t charities losing out?”
Australian Philanthropic Services (APS) is the leading independent, not-for-profit organisation in Australia. Our 1090+ clients donated $242 million to charity last year and have committed over $2.4 billion to charity via the giving structures we help them manage, ensuring those funds are ready to make a lasting difference.

Donate money into a private ancillary fund (a type of charitable trust) to receive an immediate tax deduction, then use the money put aside to give to charity every year. You or your adviser invest the capital, and we handle everything else.

A giving fund (also known as a sub-fund) in our public ancillary fund, the APS Foundation, is a satisfying and convenient way to give money to charity over time. We pool donated funds in this communal giving structure, professionally invest them and take care of all the compliance responsibilities.
