The End of Financial Year is one of the busiest and most successful fundraising periods for Australian sport. Between April and June, thousands of Australians turn to the Australian Sports Foundation to make tax-deductible donations. In fact, nearly half of all annual donations happen during this period. In June 2024 alone, we saw more than 19,000 donations made in support of everything from grassroots clubs to elite athletes.  

To ensure donations are processed in the correct financial year and your supporters receive their tax-deductible receipts for FY25, be sure to follow our EOFY deadlines below.  

FY25 EOFY Processing Deadlines 

Tuesday 24 June 

• Last day for Direct Debit payments made online
• Final date for cheque donations sent by post to arrive at the ASF

Wednesday 25 June 

• Final day to deposit cheques directly at a Westac branch

Friday 27 June 

• Final day for EFT transfers to reach the ASF
• Final day to upload manual forms for credit card donations
• Final day to upload EFT forms and/or donor spreadsheets via the ASF Platform

Monday 30 June 

• Final day for online donations via credit card or Apple/Google Pay

Make sure to keep these dates in mind when you plan your final push. If donations arrive after these dates, they’ll be processed in the next financial year, which could impact your donors’ ability to claim a tax deduction.  

Make the Most of EOFY Giving 

The earlier you launch your campaign, the more momentum you can build before June 30. This is when donors are most engaged and actively looking to give, so don’t wait until the last minute to get started!
