Rotary Australia World Community Service Ltd. (RAWCS) was formed to enable Australian Rotarians, Rotary Districts and Rotary Clubs to assist disadvantaged communities and individuals through humanitarian aid projects.
RAWCS has a financial infrastructure system that facilitates fundraising for projects that deliver humanitarian aid and charitable support in Australia and overseas. RAWCS administers Tax Deductible funds which are registered through
· Rotary Australia Overseas Aid Fund (RAOAF)
· Rotary Australia Benevolent Society (RABS) incorporating Rotary Australia Compassionate Grants (RACG)
· Rotary Australia Relief Fund (RARF)
· Donations in Kind (DIK)
· Rotarians Against Malaria (RAM)
RAWCS works in harmony with the Rotary Foundation and its ‘Areas of Focus’, delivering humanitarian aid through the Australian regional network of Rotarians, Clubs and Districts. It provides tax deductibility for donors, project accounting, internal audit, and secure international currency transfers at low rates. Back end systems and project services to all Australian Rotary Clubs for project accounting, donations and fund raising support, management, regulatory compliance, volunteer support, communications and marketing are provided by RAWCS and overseen by the Australian District Governors who are the RAWCS Ltd members.
