Donations
The Autism Association of Western Australia is partially funded by the Western Australian Government’s Disability Services Commission and Australian Government for the services we provide to people with autism.
However the Association relies heavily on the generosity of Western Australians who support our fundraising activities.
As a not for profit organization, we are very grateful for all donations whatever the size or form. Donating to the Autism Association helps us to provide more services to people with autism and their families from a young age through to their adult life.

Automatic Donations
Another simple way to help the Association is to make regular donations every month, quarterly, half yearly or annually from your credit card.
Contributing regularly allows us to plan services based on the commitment you and others make to us.
To make it easier for you at tax time, you will receive a receipt at the end of each financial year showing all your donations to the Association.
You can change your automatic donation immediately at any time by simply contacting us.
Please contact the Association on 9489 8938 if you are interested in becoming a regular supporter. The Association thanks you for your support
Gifts in Lieu
Another novel and interesting way to donate is to ask friends and families to donate to the Association in lieu or rather than gifts if you have a special celebration or milestone.
You may also wish to have others donate to us on your special occasion such as birthdays, anniversaries or any special event. In this way you and truly enjoy your special event knowing that you have been able to offer support to others.
If you would like to support the Association by making a positive gift on a special occasion contact us on 9489 8938. The Association thanks you for your support
Bequests
What is a Bequest?
A bequest is when you make a gift through your will. Gifts can be large or small but in this way you can make difference to services the Association can provide into the future. In this way you can make a lasting contribution to others and help us reach our goal.
Your gift can be:
- A specific sum of money;
- A percentage of your estate;
- A specific asset of your estate, such as property, shares, art, jewellery, or items for fundraising prizes;
- The part of your estate, that remains after specific and general bequests to family, friends and other organizations have been made.
Please contact us on 9489 8938. The Association thanks you for your support
Payroll Deductions
One of the most cost effective and easy ways to donate is to set up a regular donation as part of your payroll deductions.
Your deduction will be made pre-tax, thus providing an immediate benefit to you in the form of a tax deduction. The Autism Association of WA is approved to receive tax deductible donations by the Australian Tax Office.
Ask your employer or your payroll department how you can make a regular payroll deduction to the Association. You are able to change these arrangements at any time.
