FAQs

Is child sponsorship a contract?

No. When you sponsor a child, you’re not entering into a contract but making a voluntary ongoing contribution.

We encourage you to view child sponsorship as a long-term partnership. But if your circumstances change, we can help you adjust or cancel your sponsorship donations at any time, for any reason.

How much money goes to administration?

Australia Tanzania Society (ATS) is a 100 per cent volunteer organisation with no administrative costs.

Is child sponsorship tax deductible?

Your sponsorship payments may be tax deductible, depending on your personal tax position. As a sponsor, you’ll receive a tax receipt detailing your donation.
