The total income to cover the costs of administering all of the activities on your and my behalf is our annual donations. Currently these are set at $5 per annum with the sale of RAWCS stickers to members and in consequence RAWCS is still running in deficit. Many Clubs, unfortunately, do not contribute. Some new funding initiatives are being investigated. With our Tax Deductible status, and being a non-profit organisation, we can tap into donations from Private Anciliary Funds, which include corporate and charitable trusts.

 

We believe that it is imperative to the safety of our own and our children's future, in addition, to alleviating some of the suffering being experienced by our less well-developed neighbours that we must continue to keep RAWCS funded adequately.

 

We understand the size of the undertaking and recognise the magnificent effort truly epitomized in the statement of giving "service above self" made by the various volunteers.

There are TWO aid funds now available:

The funds are registered as:
