         Notification for endorsement as a deductible gift recipient


  You have recently applied for endorsement as a deductible gift recipient (DGR) for the
  operation of a fund, authority or institution.

  Please find enclosed your DGR notification. The fact that you have been endorsed as a
  DGR, together with the name of your fund, authority or institution and the date or period of
  effect of endorsement, will be shown on the Australian Business Register. This information
  will be publicly available.

  Please note that your endorsement applies only for the operation of your fund, authority or
  institution named in the notification. It does not apply to the whole of your activities. This
  means that income tax deductions are available only where gifts are made to the fund,
  authority or institution named and not for gifts made to your organisation as a whole
  (unless your organisation is separately endorsed).

  Your endorsement is based on the information you have supplied. You are required to
  notify the Commissioner of Taxation should you cease to be entitled to endorsement as a
  DGR for the operation of this fund, authority or institution. This is a requirement of section
  30-160 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
  publication entitled GiftPack explains the conditions for entitlement to endorsement.

  Should you require any further information the ATO has available a range of publications
  to assist you. You can obtain a copy of the GiftPack and other publications by calling the
  business Tax Reform Infoline on 13 24 78 or from our website at
  www.taxreform.ato.gov.au. You should contact the Tax Reform infoiine if you need —
  further assistance.

  If you have also applied for endorsement as a DGR for the operation of another fund,
  authority or institution you will receive separate notification.
