Grassroots Giving program is designed to support members, their communities and the causes they're passionate about, all right here in SA.

The Grassroots Giving program is designed to support not-for-profits and community groups that assist communities in the key focus areas of:

• Disadvantaged and vulnerable South Australians
• Supporting and celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and reconciliation activities
• Cultural diversity
• Environmental sustainability
• Mental health and wellbeing
• Safety and innovation.

This program also extends to those who are championing a local event, initiative or program that enhances local communities and those who live within it. RAA is keen to support activities that attract considerable public awareness, encourage local trade and tourism, and deliver high-quality experiences in SA.

To ensure sponsorship applications are treated equally, only applications that meet all of the following criteria will be considered:

• The application is from a not-for-profit or community organisation that provides a service or other benefits to the community.
• There is a clear link between the project and RAA’s Sponsorship Guidelines. 
• The project provides access to one or more key audiences. 
• The project delivers, or has the potential to deliver, benefit to RAA members. 
• There is the opportunity for a high degree of visibility within the local or wider community, providing positive exposure for RAA and/or its products and services. 
• RAA receives measurable benefit as a direct result of the sponsorship.
