How Australian not-for-profits are set up for grants
ACNC registration
The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) registers charities. Registered charities keep their details up to date and lodge an Annual Information Statement each year.
Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status
Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) endorsement from the Australian Taxation Office means donors can claim a tax deduction for eligible gifts. Since 14 December 2021, most non-government DGRs must also be registered charities. Many philanthropic funds can only give to organisations with DGR status, so funders often ask for it.
Legal structure and ABN
Common structures are incorporated associations (registered with your state or territory) and companies limited by guarantee (registered with ASIC). Most grant applications ask for an ABN.
Tax concessions
Registered charities may be eligible for tax concessions from the ATO, such as income tax exemption, once endorsed.

Questions people ask
Where can I find government grants in Australia?
Australian Government grant opportunities are published on GrantConnect (grants.gov.au), and business.gov.au lists grants and programs from federal, state and territory governments. Our Australian grant finder lists open programs from business.gov.au, each linked to its official page.
Do I need DGR status to apply for grants?
Not for every grant. Government grants often do not require DGR status, but many philanthropic foundations can only fund organisations endorsed as Deductible Gift Recipients. Check each funder's guidelines.
What is the ACNC and do I need to register?
The ACNC is the national regulator of charities. Registering is how an organisation becomes a registered charity, which is needed for charity tax concessions and is often expected by funders.
