DonateMate is proud to provide a PDF Guide for Hillary Outdoors to make it easier than ever to claim back the money you’re entitled to when you donate to support young people’s education and growth through outdoor experiences.

When your child participates in a Hillary Outdoors programme and you make a voluntary donation, you may be eligible for a 33% tax credit from Inland Revenue (IRD).

What’s this about?

In Aotearoa New Zealand, parents, caregivers and others can claim back 33 cents for every dollar donated to eligible schools and organisations like Hillary Outdoors – as long as the donation meets IRD’s criteria.

Our free downloadable PDF guide, created by DonateMate and co-branded with Hillary Outdoors, walks you through how to:

  • Ensure you are eligible
  • Gather the right receipts and evidence
  • Submit your claim on the IRD website
  • Maximise your refund – in minutes

No jargon. No hassle. Just a simple, step-by-step guide.

Why it matters

Every dollar counts – especially in today’s world. When you claim your donation tax credits, it puts money back into your pocket while continuing to support transformative learning experiences for young people through Hillary Outdoors.

Whether you’re a first-time claimant or just need a refresher, this guide is here to help.
