Q: How can I get a tax receipt for my donation/s?

Thank you for your support of Change the Record! Regular donations from supporters like you have helped Change the Record carry out its crucial work to #RaiseTheAge and end the imprisonment of children as young as 10 years old. Your support has also helped us campaign governments to end the discriminatory practices that contribute to the devastating numbers of Black deaths in custody every year. We rely entirely on donations and gifts to power our work.

Unfortunately donations to Change the Record aren't tax deductible just yet. We’re trying to get DGR status and we are hoping to have this finalised this year.
