Can I make an anonymous donation?
Yes. Backpack Bed for Homeless allows supporters to donate anonymously.
Why do we sometimes ask for details?
If you would like a tax-deductible receipt (for donations of $2 or more), we are required to collect certain information to comply with Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requirements.
If donating by credit card, some personal details are also required due to standard banking regulations.
How to donate anonymously
If you prefer not to receive a tax receipt and wish to remain anonymous, you can donate via direct deposit and leave the reference field blank.
Bank Details:
Bank: National Australia Bank

According to the ATO, donors may still be able to claim a deduction using alternative records (such as bank statements), even if a receipt is not issued.
