ROTARY AUSTRALIA BENEVOLENT SOCIETY KNOW SOMEONE IN NEED ?

ROTARY AUSTRALIA BENEVOLENT SOCIETY KNOW SOMEONE IN NEED ?

RAWCS has established the Rotary Australia Benevolent Society ( RABS ) to assist Rotary Clubs and Rotary Districts within Australia to respond to needs within their own communities .
The main requirement for RABS projects is that they provide direct relief to people in need . If the clients are disadvantaged , the relief should target that disadvantage , i . e . a place to sleep for the homeless , food and support for those in poverty , counselling and support of those in distress . The relief provided is only for ' people in need '.
All Benevolent Society projects must address one or more of the following criteria that arouse the compassion of your community : Poverty , Sickness , Suffering , Distress , Misfortune , Disability , Destitution , Helplessness .
Once you have your idea registering is easy . Simply download the forms from our website . www . rawcs . org . au
RABS has been registered with the ACNC - Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission and has Designated Gift Recipient ( DGR ) status with the Australian Tax Office .
