COVID-19: What Government assistance
is available for charity and NFPs?

All levels of Government have announced a range of economic responses to the COVID-19 to support business, workers and the community.  There are benefits available for charities and not-for-profits and Giuntabell is here to provide assistance to guide you through this difficult and challenging time.

A summary of some of the key measures available to support organisations are listed below.  As a charity or not-for-profit you may be eligible for some of these measures. We are here to help, so please book a complimentary 45-minute virtual meeting with one of our NFP Charity experts to see whether you can access support.  Request a virtual meeting by completing the form.

Giuntabell will be holding a series of webinars to help charity and not-for-profit organisations understand and benefit from this support. Please let us know below (on the form) if you would like to receive an invitation.
