In recent years it has been recognised that CMDFA has greater potential and opportunities to serve Christians in medicine or dentistry than we have funds. Tax deductible contributions: General partnershipsTax-deductible partnerships provide you an opportunity above and beyond your basic membership contribution to support the growing ministry of CMDFA tax-effectively. General partnerships are named according to the amounts contributed (see below) Like memberships, they are tax deductible and include a GST component. Please contribute as much and as often as you are able.
Please note that payments made for partnerships are anonymous. Click here to become a partner. Non tax deducible contributions: Specific partnershipsYou can also contribute to a specific interest of yours, through a Specific Partnership. Specific Partnerships (unlike General Partnerships) are NOT tax-deductible. These partnerships are valuable in getting new work established. For example, our new web site was established this way. You can be as specific as you like, and we have listed several popular categories below. Please contribute as much and as often as you are able. National REGS worker supportDr Jeremy Beckett, our REGS (Recent Graduates and Students) staff worker is a GP who lives in Western Australia. He does most of his work on a voluntary basis but needs help with out of pocket expenses such as travel and phone costs. This is a great help in supporting his contribution, enabling him to train student and recent graduate leaders, and help him with his various activities.

Please note that you may not be able use specific partnerships as tax deductions unless they are directed through your own special trust fund. If you wish to be more specific than the above the list, then please state so in an extra email. However in doing so please note that if there is not enough money collected over an extended period for a very specific cause to actually fulfill the purpose of the collection, or if it becomes clear that the cause is not within the framework of what the CMDFA board considers important in fulfilling the aims of the fellowship, then we may, in consultation with you, need to consider whether the money should be used in other ways. Please feel free to discuss this further with one of our national officers Willing partnersAt some stage we all need to complete or upgrade our wills. We would ask you to consider including CMDFA in your thinking when you do that. If all members even just contributed a small amount this way it would add up to a considerable amount of regular income over time. If you would like to contribute in this way then please contact the executive officer for details.
