Donate
Your donation provides wrap-around, culturally safe support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people before they reach crisis point, empowering them to thrive and succeed.
There’s no better time to act
Our young people are smart, talented, strong, and kind.
But many of them face enormous barriers: from the impacts of cultural loss and dislocation to intergenerational trauma, racism, and bullying.
Education changes everything. But school is often a tough place for our kids to be.
When you donate to NASCA you are supporting solutions designed and led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. As an Aboriginal charity, we connect our young people to Culture helping them to feel confident and valued, and we strengthen their education, enabling them to excel at school and beyond.
What your donation can provide:
- $33 can go towards delivering a NASCA event like Dreamfest, connecting our young people to Culture
- $56 can help deliver a Pathways Program workshop helping students access further education and employment opportunities
- $110 can help provide in-class support in one of our remote NT community schools
You can invest in the transformation of a young person’s life by donating today.
Together, we can create a proud, prosperous, healthy Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people thrive.
About your donation to NASCA
Your tax-deductible donations keep NASCA’s life-changing programs running so our young people can connect to their Culture. So they can feel respected, valued, and able to excel, whether at maths, sport, art, or anything they choose – from school to further education and employment.
Your gift could provide:
- In-class and academic support for a young person struggling at school
- Cultural activities so a young person can connect to Culture and Mob
- Healthy meals and transport to and from school
- One-to-one mentoring for a young person going through a tough time
Every year the Australian Government delivers the Closing the Gap Report, and every year we fail to achieve the targets set out. Simply put, we are failing to reduce the disparity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. That’s where NASCA comes in.
As a 100% Indigenous-governed and led organisation we have the unique expertise and lived experience to deliver the right support to our communities.
In 2023 here’s what supporters like you made possible:
- 95% Year 12 attainment rate (compared to the latest NSW average of 54%)
- 1,589 young people supported
- 13,870 hours of academic support
- 1,100 young people participated in Pathways Program workshops
- 1,600 hours of cultural connection sessions
- 6,748 hours of one-to-one mentoring
Yes, donations over $2 are tax-deductible in Australia. You will receive a receipt in your name.
If you donate to an organisation classified as a ‘deductible gift recipient’ (like NASCA), you can claim a tax deduction on your tax return for that year for your donation. Donating to a deductible gift recipient will likely reduce your overall taxable income, which may reduce the amount of tax you are required to pay.
You must donate at least $2 and keep proof in the form of a receipt or bank statement. When you donate to NASCA, we’ll send you a tax receipt. The more you donate, the more you may claim back. Find out more
Our regular givers make an automatic donation every four weeks, either by credit card or direct debit. No matter the amount, we value it more than we can say – because there are regular funds coming in and we can focus on programs rather than fundraising.
We would love to help you answer any questions. Please call (02) 8399 3071 or get in contact with us online. Please don’t include your credit card details in your email for security reasons.
