Over a decade ago the Productivity Commission called for major reform of government contracting. And the Government's election platform carried a plan. Yet #charities and #NFPs still await meaningful change.. This blue moon? David Crosbie Com Council for Aus communitydirectors.com.au/articles/refor…

The top end of town helped push tax deductible charitable donations to $4.4 billion in 2021-2022 but just 30% of Australians reached into their pockets, according to new analysis of tax data by ACPNS - QUT. Read more in the Community Advocate. buff.ly/3LfJg5p ato.gov.au

In charities and NFPs there will always be a gap between perfection and reality, between all the competing expectations and what can realistically be delivered. We can't let that gap define us when so much good is being achieved every day. communitydirectors.com.au/articles/great…

We have been raising these concerns for over two years. - not-for-profit organisations don't have time or expertise to adapt to new ATO tax rules abc.net.au/news/2024-03-3…

Whether its jobs, energy transition... you name it #charities and community organisations are not a priority in most areas of government policy making. This doesn’t just impact our sector; it impacts the communities we serve. David Crosbie Com Council for Aus communitydirectors.com.au/articles/workp…

Community perceptions of charities and community groups are shifting. Community Compass is a compelling report suggesting our sector may need to find new ways to engage and talk about our value and the work we do. David Crosbie Com Council for Aus Our Community communitydirectors.com.au/articles/findi…

Australians are supportive of charities and NFPs, and happy to be more involved where possible, but if we want more support, we’ll have to go beyond appealing to values like fairness and equity that no longer resonate as strongly in our communities. communitydirectors.com.au/articles/findi…

The ATO has an important role in ensuring fairness across our tax system - but new reporting requirements for #NFPs makes no policy or practical sense. A new burden impacting thousands of small community groups and #volunteers. Com Council for Aus submission: communitycouncil.com.au/2024/10/11/inq…

Contentious ato.gov.au changes requiring 155,000 NFPs to submit self-review returns or lose tax concessions have cost taxpayers more than $5.4 million. A Senate inquiry has now recommended transferring responsibility for the project to the @acnc_gov_au buff.ly/3YMWHkq

The Assist Minister for Charities supported a Community Building group in the government's pre-election commitments. For a tiny fraction of the disaster preparedness budget, we could have a dedicated community building capacity making us all safer. communitydirectors.com.au/articles/commu…
