Making a Donation to support farmers and regional communities affected by Natural Disasters (Floods, Fires and Drought)

If you are considering support for farmers or those in regional communities affected by natural disasters (flood, fire and drought) there are a number of registered charities that can be contacted. There are specific charities for farmers, and other charities that support rural communities more broadly.

NSW Farmers’ does not specifically endorse any single charity, however the links below to registered charities may be worth investing. Terms and Conditions of use of this page are here.

Additionally the NSW Farmers Natural Disaster Relief Fund is a long-standing registered charity established by NSW Farmers with a focus on disbursing donations to primary producers who have suffered loss as a result of natural disasters.
