Past Questions

Is there a reason why this one does not qualify for a charity receipt and rebate?
Bob asked on 11 Feb 2009

Thanks - great spotting! We are working with NZ Red Cross to migrate this project over to their Givealittle profile as soon as possible, which will give it Red Cross rebate status. The Givealittle team created this project on Sunday evening prior to the NZ Red Cross launching their appeal and loading a project. We will update all supporters of this project once this change has taken place.
Answered on 11 Feb 2009

Is the money gathered from this appeal going directly to the New Zealand Red Cross?
Bob asked on 11 Feb 2009

Yes - directly to the New Zealand Red Cross who will be facilitating donations through to the 2009 Victorian Bushfire Relief Fund. Thanks for your question.

Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009

The 2009 Victorian Bushfire Fund to assist individuals and communities affected by devastating bushfires in Victoria has been launched by the Premier John Brumby in partnership with Red Cross and the Federal Government. A number of corporate organisations including NAB, ANZ, CBA and Wesfarmers have also contributed to the fund.

An independent panel made up of community leaders will oversee the appeal Fund's operation. Criteria for assistance will include the extent of the hardship covered and the extent to which a person's livelihood has been impacted.

Jack Barber's story

'I live on Pine Ridge Road -- or used to live there. Yesterday about 3pm the wind was blowing the fire away, and then within half-an-hour the wind changed and came up Sugar Loaf Mountain.

We saw the clouds of smoke above us and decided to leave our house. We left and went down to West King Lake fire brigade but was told it wasn't safe there.'

In the end Jack and his family spent the night on the football oval in King Lake.
