"Giving is in a tough spot in Australia. A declining proportion of us donate to
charities, and fewer of us are registering as formal volunteers than in 2018.
However, demand for the work of charities is higher than ever.
Charities Minister Andrew Leigh has deemed this a civic crisis and set a target
of doubling philanthropic giving by 2030.
To achieve this, Leigh and Treasurer Jim Chalmers asked the Productivity
Commission to conduct a once-in-a-generation 15-month review of philanthropy,
which was published last Thursday.
Leigh said he would consider all of the recommendations but one – that
donations to school building funds no longer be tax deductible."
