Generous donations to the Rotary Australia Compassionate Grant (RACG) Projects program have enabled this compassionate grant program to re-commence.
This has been made possible by philanthropic donations to Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS).
RACG Projects are registered under the entity of Rotary Australia Benevolent Society (RABS), ABN 54 563 288 318. All RABS Projects have DGR status with the ATO. i.e., donations are tax deductible.
The aim of the RACG Projects is to provide assistance to disadvantaged members of the Australian community irrespective of their location within Australia.
RACG Projects must provide specific, direct relief to people in need and not be simply a general funding donation to an organisation even though that organisation may provide assistance to people in need.
Rotary Australia Compassionate Grants will match a Club’s or District’s fundraising on a dollar-for-dollar basis subject to the following:
- a qualifying project must have a minimum value of $2,000 (i.e., a minimum grant of $1,000),
- the maximum value of any single Project grant will be $10,000,
- a Club or District that has had a RACG Project approved, may apply to register additional Projects subject to satisfactory progress of the previous grant.
All RACG Projects must contain a budget that states the total cost of the project and the anticipated source of these funds.
RACG online Project Applications may be submitted by a Rotary Club or a Rotary District.
