RAA is providing help from the ground up with our Grassroots Giving program, designed to support members, their communities and the causes they’re passionate about – all right here in SA.
And the second of our twice-yearly rounds of applications is open from 1 September until 30 September. We award funds of up to $5,000 to each successful applicant.
We delivered $44,150 in grants following the previous round of applications in April this year – taking the total value of grants to $84,150 last financial year.
Previous successful grant applications include 1300Koalaz, the state’s largest group of experienced wildlife carers in SA. Their Virtual Fencing project received a $5000 grant to install high technology fencing which emits a beep to deter wildlife from crossing a dangerous spot on North East Road at Tea Tree Gully. The Noarlunga SES Unit also received a grant to fund much need equipment.
Another not-for-profit grant recipient was Operation Flinders – for its Operation Next Step program (pictured above). Participants can earn a nationally recognised qualification, complete an integrated learning subject and earn points towards their South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE).
As an alternative to money, other options for giving include in-kind gifts, RAA-branded merchandise and volunteering opportunities.
Our Grassroots Community Giving Program has two rounds each year. You can only apply online for funding up to $5,000 (GST included) per year.
These areas of focus highlight our values, while supporting the needs of our fellow South Aussies.
