Reason for the Foundation The Royal Australian Regiment Foudation exists to serve members of the Regiment during emergencies as well as assist battalions fund projects. The Foundation is a patriotic and charitable organisation.

Grants - Philosophy. The Board has established guidelines on eligibity for grants. The guidelines assist the management staff's review of grant requests. The philosphy underlying the guidelines accepts that grants may be awarded to individuals, be they officer or soldier, who is serving in the Regiment (ie any serving soldier wearing the RAR badge). This applies whether they be a financial member of the Foundation or not and where an immediate grant will overcome financial difficulties arising from exigencies of the service. All grants require a recommendation from the recipent's commanding officer. As shown below grants are also made to projects which assist in promotion of the Royal Australian Regiment, its place in history, its espirit de corps and its long term well being.

Grants - not Loans. If you have a serious financial problem caused by anything you or your family are expected to do as a serving infantry soldier of the Royal Australian regiment, then the RAR Foundation may be able to help. It is simply a matter of asking your superior to ask your Commanding Officer for help from the Foundation. Please remember that the RAR Foundation makes grants and not loans. Few soldiers experiencing financial difficulties are in a position to repay loans.
