WANT TO BE MORE ENGAGED?
LEARN MORE ABOUT ROTARY WESTERN
AUSTRALIA'S
FAMILY AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COLLECTIVE
(FDV COLLECTIVE)
Abuse and
violence between intimate partners, and between family members,
has profound impacts upon the victims,
those who witness it, and also those who
perpetrate it.
There is a
concerted effort at all levels in the Western Australian community.
to respond to this issue and many Rotary Clubs
and individual Rotarians in Western Australia
are
contributing through projects that support service providers.
, and
initiatives that directly support survivors.
Many Clubs
have expressed a desire to be more engaged.
The FDV
Collective’s aim is to promote and strengthen Rotary’s responses through:
- Raising
awareness and promoting understanding within Rotary of FDV.
- Linking
like-minded Rotarians to improve synergies between projects and
initiatives.
- Advocating
for and promoting new initiatives.
- Collaborating
with other Rotary initiatives in District 9423 that have an impact
on FDV.
- Building
and maintaining relationships with the service sector
- to
ensure that Rotary’s actions are appropriate and targeted to where they
are needed most.
Join us at
our interest meeting on 30th August
from 7:00 - 8:30pm
to
strategise the way forward for Rotary Western Australia's Family and Domestic
Violence Collective.
We are
also looking for Rotarians to join our committee.

In April 2023, the Trustees of
The Rotary Foundation
approved a new kind of grant for deployment.
in Australia and Brazil
Corporate Social Responsibility
Grants, or CSR Grants.
CSR Grants provide a
straightforward way for corporations.
to engage with Rotary
in the delivery of mutually agreed outcomes.
For example,
if a corporation has a focus on making a
difference
in the education of children in
indigenous communities,
chances are there’s a Rotary club.
that will have very similar aspirations.
along with the ‘feet on the
ground’ to bring the project to life.
In other cases, an Australian
Rotary club may,
as an example, be looking for funding for a
project.
that will deliver outstanding outcomes.
in the growth of small businesses in a country
where the corporation is doing
business.
Rotary’s network of over 35,000 clubs,
in almost every country in the world,
can help make this possible.

grants click on this link
