A bit about us
Friends of Nepal - Australia Inc is a charity registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission (ACNC) and endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) by the Australian Taxation Office.
We are an independent group, working towards helping disadvantaged people, especially children, in Nepal. Through our fund-raising efforts, and with the support of our members, we are able to make a real difference to people less fortunate than ourselves. The story about how we came together is deeply rooted in the passion to help those in need. You can read more about our history here.
Some of our beneficiaries in Nepal include – CDON-Nepal, RIDS-Nepal, Kanti Children’s Hospital, Oral Dental Care, Malika Development Organisation (MDO), and other small projects making difference for children in Nepal. We organise fund-raising events every year to raise funds that will support our beneficiaries in Nepal. 100 % of the funds raised goes to our projects in Nepal. We prioritise projects that have broader impact in the community with smaller funding because we are limited by our small group of volunteers. Having said that, our volunteers are driven to make positive changes in the lives of people who need it most.
Your donation is tax-deductible
We are now endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) by the Australian Taxation Office. This means that your donations above $2 are tax-deductible here in Australia. We hope tax deductibility encourages you to donate to our cause and benefit during tax time.
Your generous donations will make a real difference to the lives of our beneficiaries in Nepal.
How we fundraise
We generally try to organise three to four events a year. All the members and friends of FON Inc. are volunteers who give their heart and soul in helping this small organisation so that we can make a difference back in Nepal. Please donate and help us help improve living condition of the people in need.
Along with the fundraising events, we also sell Entertainment Membership that provides great value to our members. 20% of each sale goes back into our projects. The membership has vouchers over $20,000 and still costs just $70. Please buy your copy today and help us in our fundraising efforts
We are always looking for more members who can help us out voluntarily and help us build Nepal in our own small ways. So, become a member! Friends of Nepal – Australia Inc. supports grass-root level projects in Nepal. Because we are a small organisation, we look for projects that can make a huge impact by spending relatively small amount of funding that we raise through annual movie events and cultural nights.
We invite you to join our initiative - "Helping hands" where we look for responsible project partnership with local businesses. It will focus on mutual benefit, but the end result is that the neediest communities in Nepal benefit through sustainable and holistic development programs.
