What is a Family Partner?
Family Partners are people who decide up-front on an annual amount they wish to donate to 98five, and then spread their gift out, usually over monthly instalments. Their donation is made via credit card or direct debit on a preferred day each month.
Do I Have to Give Monthly or Can I Give More or Less Often?
Whilst most 98five Family Partners choose to give monthly, many also give fortnightly, quarterly, half yearly and even annually. You can arrange whatever amount and frequency of giving best suits your circumstances.
Are Family Partner Donations Tax Deductible?
Yes. All donations to 98five are fully tax deductible, including Family Partners.
How and When Do I Receive my Donation Tax Receipt?
Family Partners receive written confirmation when their pledge is set up. In early July each year, all Family Partners receive a receipt with a total of their donations for the financial year. The receipt is sent to the preferred email or postal address. If a receipt is ever lost, it can be re-sent.
What If My Circumstances Change?
Family Partners make a pledge only. If circumstances change, the donation amount can be adjusted, suspended for a period of time, or stopped altogether. As always, giving to 98five is an invitation and never an obligation.
What is Family Partners Money Used For?
As with all donations to 98five, funds are used exclusively to support the operations of the radio station. This enables 98five to continue to share the Christian message of hope with Perth and beyond, 24 hours day, every day of the year.
Why are Family Partners So Important for 98five?
Like any organisation, 98five has regular bills it needs to pay. Having Family Partners pledge their commitment in advance, and pay that pledge in regular instalments, helps with our cash-flow and with our confidence to better plan for the future.
How Are Family Partners Acknowledged?
All Family Partners are acknowledged when first signed up, and automatically receive our regular communications, including newsletters, emails and their annual tax receipt. From time to time we thank Family Partners on air using only their first name and suburb if they are comfortable to be acknowledged in this way. We don’t mention how much is pledged, because the amount people are able to give is different. We celebrate every gift, no matter how big or small.
