Conditions
All donations are accepted subject to the donor completing a Donations Form and agreeing to the terms of the University’s Donations Policy.
Acknowledging Donations
The University Library will formally acknowledge any donations, unless donors specifically request us not to do so. We will also insert a bookplate into donations unless the donor specifically asks us not to do so.
Making a donation
Contact the specific library you wish to make the donation to or contact the Director Library Services if you are unsure which library should accept the donation.
Tax Incentives for Donors
The University Library is eligible to participate in the Cultural Gifts Program which encourages gifts of significant cultural items offering donors a tax deduction for the market value of their gifts, under Subdivision 30-A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (the Act).
The University Library is a registered deductible gift recipient under Subdivision 30-B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (the Act). Donors of gifts of money of two dollars or more may be eligible to claim an income tax deduction.
Valuation expenses incurred by a donor may be tax deductible if the valuation is made solely to determine the market value of a deductible gift so a gift deduction can be claimed.
