Per our Form 1023 Narrative: The Australian Community is not organized solely to contribute or fundraise for any specific entity. However, at the discretion of the Board of Directors we may at times choose to distribute to other organizations. In late 2019, when it became abundantly clear of the scale of the then Australian Bushfires, and the demand from donors to send funds to assist the human and animal victims, our Board of Directors made the decision to raise funds for recognized Australian non-profits providing relief either through and or directly fighting the fires. Our existing Disaster Relief program was expanded and the necessary policies and procedures implemented to ensure that this program further(ed) our exempt status. Revenues received from fundraising from our Disaster Relief program were distributed per our Foreign Mission Policy procedures for Grants outside of the United States. All monies were transferred at a historically low Australian Dollar, and a zero fee Foreign Exchange Rate (Interbank) further increasing the positive financial impact of the Grants.

Per our form 1023 narrative: The Australian Community Inc. aims to provide Disaster Relief aid in the form of financial donations to established relief organizations. Given the close family ties of our donors and supporters, our Board of Directors made the decision to raise and send money to provide financial aid for victims of the 2019/2020 Australian Bushfires. Through use of our website, keywords, and our Google AdGrants, we successfully raised funds through the generous donations of Australians and Americans aligned with our charitable mission. This furthered our exempt status through building stronger bonds between Australia and the United States. All funds were distributed following the strict guidelines of our Foreign Mission Policy, including the publishing of Grant Use Reports on our public website at https://aucommunity.org/grant-use-reports-2020/ In addition to funding direct aid for firefighting equipment, mental health services, and supplies for annual rehabilitation, a Koala Rehabilitation Facility was constructed in Western Sydney from The Australian Communitys donations made to WIRES.
