South West Victoria is coming together in an extraordinary show of support for its drought-affected communities, with a major fundraising event planned for the “Hey Mate, We Have Your Back” resilience program. This initiative aims to provide crucial assistance to individuals and families facing the ongoing challenges of drought, reinforcing the unwavering spirit of regional Australians.
A groundswell of community involvement has propelled this event forward, demonstrating the deep commitment locals have toward ensuring no one faces hardship alone. In a significant move, the South West Community Foundation has partnered with the event organisers as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) Status 2 partner. This collaboration ensures that all contributions are tax deductible and will be professionally managed, guaranteeing funds reach the grassroots level where they are needed most.
“At South West Community Foundation, we connect local generosity with local need. The funds raised through this fundraiser will go back will be held in a dedicated fund that will support grassroots projects and community-led initiatives right here in our region. We’re proud to be a trusted partner and to support the community — ensuring that support goes where it’s needed most, when it’s needed most.” Annabel Cussen, Executive Officer.
