Donation FAQ

If you have any other queries regarding your donation, please contact us

Q1. What payment methods does CCT accept?

You can donate via direct deposit through your bank, credit card or direct deposit using PayPal or by cheque or money order.

All donations are made through our Australian partner Green Kids Global.

Q2. Why does my donation go through Green Kids Global?

All donations to Cambodian Children’s Trust are made through our Australian partner Green Kids Global Inc. (CFN 20989). GKG is an Australian not-for-profit Non Government Organisation, which shares CCT’s aims and objectives.

CCT is a Cambodian registered NGO so, in order for us to issue our Australian donors with tax-deductible receipts, all donations need to go through our Australian Partner GKG.

In order to reduce our administration costs and simplify our processes, and because the CCT account in Cambodia cannot receive credit card, cheque or Paypal payments, we ask that all international donors also donate through GKG.

Tara Winkler is on the Management Committee of GKG.

CCT is Green Kids Global’s project and your donation will go directly to supporting CCT’s projects.

Q3. Why is it necessary to fill in the Donor Registration Form?

Completing the Donor Registration Form on our Make a Donation page generates a Reference Number that helps us identify your payments into Green Kids Global’s bank account. It enables us to link your donation to your details and mail out your receipt and our thanks.

We will not share your details with any other organisation.

Q11. Can I donate to CCT through Workplace Giving and will CCT accept a matched gift from my company?

Cambodian Children's Trust supports Workplace Giving from our Australian donors and encourages matched gifts from your company.

A simple tax-effective way to make regular donations to CCT is through your organisation’s Workplace Giving scheme. Workplace Giving allows you to make a regular donation directly from your gross salary, reducing the amount of income tax deducted from your pay,

As Cambodian Children’s Trust is a Cambodian registered charity, all donations to CCT will need to be made through our Australian Partner, Green Kids Global, which has deductible gift recipient (DGR) status and can therefore issue tax deductible receipts. All donations through GKG go directly to support CCT's relief and development projects.

Please speak to your Payroll or Human Resources department about Workplace Giving tax benefits and setting up regular payroll donations to CCT through GKG. You will also find information regarding Workplace Giving on the Australian Government website www.ato.gov.au

Also talk to your employer about your company’s Matched Giving program. Any recent donations you have made may also be eligible for a matched gift from your employer.

If either you or your employer require information about CCT's work, or setting up regular employee donations, please contact us at donations@cambodianchildrenstrust.org
