Help us make a difference and give back to the Community
The Foundation supports community organisations through a variety of activities with the Foundation supporting the generosity of our people through matching donations. This is key to our community support program and underpins our belief that we have a responsibility to the local communities where we live and work.

All charities must meet the following criteria:

	Support a broad community need rather than individuals in the areas of Health/Medical research; Welfare; Behavioural Education; Environment preservation and protection; Overseas Aid/Charities, Natural Disasters and Animal Welfare.
	Have the involvement of Count team through volunteering and fundraising.
	The organisation helps Australians and, if possible, operates nationally. Overseas charities are considered but they must have DGR status in Australia
	Deliver long-term benefits and build community sustainability.
	Over 75% of donated funds must reach the people or cause involved.

A charitable organisation must be:

	A not for profit with Deductible Gift Recipient status in Australia
	GST concession; and
	Income Tax Exemption
