DRY JULY FOUNDATION

In 2009 Dry July has set itself up as a stand alone, national, not for profit, charitable organisation (ABN 88 497 552 964).

The Dry July Foundation is a registered charity approved by the Australian Tax Office.

We hold the following:

• Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status
• GST Concession
• Income Tax Exemption

HOW ARE YOU SPENDING THE MONEY?

We are conscious that your donation gets to those that need it most, adults living with cancer.

It is our intention to be an efficient, accountable, low cost, transparent and effective charitable organisation.

With this in mind, in 2009, the Dry July Foundation will operate to a fundraising ratio of 80/20. This mean 80c in every dollar you raise will go directly to your nominated state beneficiary.

HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE OTHER 20%?

10c in every dollar will be used to cover the cost of this year’s campaign. Examples of our expenses include transaction costs i.e. bank fees on credit card donations, website hosting, secure certificates and servers etc.

Full details of our expenditure will be available in the Dry July Annual Report.

The remaining 10% will be used to deliver a bigger and better Dry July in 2010.

Dry July adheres favourably to the FIA (Fundraising Institute of Australia) fundraising ratio. If you would like to know more about fundraising ratios, please visit the FIA website.

Dry July 2009 will be fully audited by Forsythes and an Annual Report made available in 2010.
