Reporting Your Expenditure

Acquittal Process for ASF Grant Payments



Acquittals are the way our fundraising partners account for the funds they raise through the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF). Whether it’s a Fundraising for Sport grant (standard or charity) or a Play for Purpose payment. This is to help ensure that donations are being used for the development of sport in Australia, and for the intended/approved purpose.

We work on a 90-day reporting cycle, however, completing your acquittals on the ASF platform has never been easier so you can do it at any time before the due date.

For organisations and individual fundraisers who have received Fundraising for Sport payments, you’ll receive regular email reminders to go into the ASF platform and submit an Acquittal. This will simply involve confirming a declaration that you have/will use the grant payment for the intended/approved purpose.

You can view and complete your acquittals in the Programs section of the ASF platform, however, the easiest way to see if you have any outstanding reporting to do is by clicking on the 'Report My Expenditures' quick link on the Home page.





1. Select 'Report My Expenditure' beside the relevant program.



2. Your outstanding acquittals will be listed in date order. Beside the appropriate period, click 'Declare'.



3. Read the declaration carefully before clicking 'Confirm'.



4. Repeat steps 2-3 for any outstanding acquittals.
