Overseas aid funds

How to establish an overseas aid fund?

Step 1

When AusAID notifies us that your organisation qualifies as an 'approved organisation', we will contact you regarding other requirements for DGR endorsement.

We will work with you to make sure you have a developing country relief fund in place and will then seek approval of the fund from the Assistant Treasurer.

Step 2

The Assistant Treasurer will:

• write to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the ATO and AusAID advising that the fund has been approved
• organise for a notice to be published in the Government Notices Gazette (or Special Notices Gazette) declaring your fund to be a developing country relief fund - the notice will specify the day on which it has effect, it cannot have effect earlier than the day on which it is published in the Gazette.
