MS: Busting the Myths
Thank you for considering supporting the MS Society. Your contribution is absolutely vital and gratefully received. Without public support, the valuable work of MSNZ would be impossible. Your contribution to our cause allows us to continue to provide advocacy and information to improve the lives of families affected by multiple sclerosis. MSNZ must annually raise over 90% of our income through donations, grants, bequests and business support. We are extremely grateful for any donation received.
All donations will receive a receipt and those over $5 are eligible for a tax refund.

Payroll Giving is where you can ask your employer to deduct donations from your pay and pass them on to approved charities. For every dollar you donate, you get 33.33 cents back as a tax credit. The credit reduces the amount of PAYE or withholding tax you pay, giving you the opportunity to make donations direct from your pay without claiming tax credits.
