Where the
money goes.
Our unique model means all donations to the GERF reach the pocket of a Gippslander impacted by disaster. Any surplus from an appeal or our wonderful regular donors remains in the fund, ready for a rapid response during the next event.
Our volunteers carefully manage the fund and use the interest to cover any expenses, so the donations remain untouched. Thanks to our incredible and longstanding corporate partners we’re able to keep our expenses low, and pass the savings on to Gippslanders in need.

GERF has distributed millions in direct financial support to Gippsland communities impacted by disaster, providing immediate relief and ongoing recovery assistance.
