Your Partner in Impactful Humanitarian Projects
For nearly 60 years, RAWCS (Rotary Australia World Community Service) has been the cornerstone for Rotarians in Australia to transform humanitarian ideas into impactful projects. With $0.5 billion in donations driving thousands of initiatives across nearly 50 countries, including Australia, we have changed countless lives.
Unmatched Efficiency and Support
- Quick and Easy Registration: Rotary projects can be registered online and, in most cases, approved within days, ensuring an early community benefit. No red tape, no delays — get your project up and running instantly to start making a difference.
- Comprehensive Services: From tax-deductible receipts for donors to insurance for volunteers, we handle all aspects of project management. This includes accounting, international funds transfer, compliance, audits, and reporting. Focus on your mission while we take care of the rest.
- Expert Guidance and Training: Connect with experienced project teams for advice and leverage our training on securing grants from government, philanthropic, and corporate sources. Expand your project’s reach with our fundraising support from external sources beyond Rotary.
Lowest Administration Fee in the Market
Our administration fee is just 5%, significantly lower than the 9% charged by Rotary Foundation Australia and the 15-30% range recommended by Philanthropy Australia for charities and not-for-profits. Despite our actual operating costs being 9%, we subsidise 4% from our reserves to keep your costs low and your impact high.
