HUMANITY OVER POLITICS 27
This Challenge Grant is a unique act
of leadership by the Vincent Fairfax
Family Foundation, one that will
provide enormous benefit to
asylum seekers.
The VFFF challenge grant serves as
a challenge and a provocation – to
both individuals and institutions
– to demonstrate a similar kind of
leadership, support and innovation
around an issue of societal
importance.
How the Challenge Grant
Works
The grant is designed to incentivise
RACS in our fundraising, and it
will work to leverage the generous
and regular contributions of our
supporters.
When someone donates to RACS,
the Challenge Grant will increase
their contribution by 33%.
Thanks to the Vincent Fairfax
Family Foundation a donation of:
$10 becomes $13.30
$20 becomes $26.60
$50 becomes $66.50
$100 becomes $133.00
RACS is so very grateful for
the leadership, innovation and
generosity of the Vincent Fairfax
Family Foundation, supporting the
right of asylum seekers to access
legal assistance as they seek
Australia’s protection.
The VFFF challenge grant is a vote
of confidence for the staff doing
amazing legal work at RACS.
