Donate your tax refund
Have you considered donating your tax refund to Wellington Hospitals Foundation?
For every donation you make over $5.00 you will have received a receipt. With these receipts you can claim 33.33% of each donation back as a Tax Credit from IRD at the end of the Tax Year.
If you receive a Tax Credit (refund), the Foundation would be thrilled to receive it. Every little bit helps build a healthier community. See how you can help below.
