Philanthropy New Zealand has serious concerns about the donation tax credit cap for gifts over $100,000 announced in Budget 2026.

We are continuing to lead the coordination of the sector response. We sent this joint letter to Ministers in June. It is signed by 68 charities, philanthropic organisations, and individuals, reinforcing the unified position of the sector.

We’ve put together some clear explanations of the concerns we have and the impacts of the donation‑credit cap. Use them whenever they’re helpful in your conversations.
