On Tuesday last week, at a special event in Sydney’s CBD attended by around 60 guests—including Rotarians, corporate leaders, government representatives, and community stakeholders—Dick and Pip Smith announced a generous donation of $1 million to Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) for the Rotary Australia Compassionate Grants (RACG) program.
The RACG program empowers Rotary Clubs to deliver compassionate, practical support to individuals and families in crisis. Grants can be up to $15,000 and are designed to match funds raised by clubs and their communities, effectively doubling the impact.
