For charities

Income that recurs.
Forever.

A new kind of donor relationship: predictable, quarterly, unrestricted income from contributors who've built permanent funds with your cause in mind. No campaigns to run. No grants to apply for. Just yield, every quarter, for as long as the fund exists.

What you receive

A different kind of income.

Most charities live on cyclical fundraising — campaigns, gala dinners, grant rounds, end-of-financial-year appeals. Benefund offers something structurally different: yield from a permanent capital base, distributed every quarter without prompting.

Predictable, quarterly income.

Distributions are made on the first business day of each quarter. The amount depends on contributors' fund balances and yield, but the cadence is permanent. Plan your operating budget against it.

Unrestricted by default.

Distributions arrive as ordinary tax-deductible donations — unrestricted operating income. Use it for general operations, programmatic delivery, capacity building, or whatever you need most. No ringfencing, no conditions, no required reporting.

Visibility to a new audience.

Be discoverable by Australians actively choosing where their long-term charitable capital goes. We do not lobby for or against any individual cause — but we make every partner charity visible, searchable, and selectable in a clean, dignified directory.

No cost to participate.

There are no fees for charity partners. No setup costs, no ongoing commissions, no listing fees. Distributions arrive in full, with full tax-deductible status preserved for the contributor.

A real example

What a quarter looks like.

Here's how a single quarter's distributions to a partner charity might appear, drawn from contributions across many individual Benefund accounts. Each line is a single contributor whose fund includes your charity in their distribution split.

A single year. Permanent and recurring.

One transfer. One receipt. One reconciliation.

Each quarter, you receive a single consolidated transfer from Benefund — accompanied by a single statement showing the underlying number of contributing funds, total amount, and your distribution share.

You issue no individual gift receipts. We handle that for every contributor through your existing DGR endorsement. Your job is simply to do the work — we'll keep the funds flowing.

Eligibility

Who can join.

Benefund partners with Australian charities that meet ATO and ACNC requirements. The eligibility bar is exactly the standard required for tax-deductible giving — no more, no less.

Benefund makes no judgement on individual missions or causes. As long as your organisation meets the regulatory bar above, you're welcome. We do, however, decline organisations under active ACNC enforcement action or with publicly substantiated material governance failures, and we comply with applicable Australian law on prohibited purposes.
