Rural and regional communities are often hardest hit by arbitrary forces beyond their control. An existing baseline of inequitable access to education, health and employment opportunies are often exacerbated by the bushfires, drought, floods and mice plagues.

By donating to the RAS Foundation (RASF), you help create a lasting impact on the future of rural and regional Australia. Your generous support enables us to provide scholarships and grants that empower young people, families, and communities in rural areas, equipping them with the skills and opportunities they need to thrive.

Your donation is more than just a financial gift—it’s an investment in the future of agriculture and rural communities, helping ensure they continue to prosper. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a meaningful difference. Support us today and be part of the change that sustains rural Australia for generations to come.

The RAS Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS).  The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW is a not-for-profit organisation which has been an influential force in the direction and development of Australian agriculture through competitions, education and events since its foundation in 1822.

The RAS Foundation was established in 2007 to help build stong, sustainable and resilient rural and regional communities.  The RAS Foundation achieves this through a range of educational scholarships and community grants that help rural Australians to realise their potential and make a difference in their community.
