Governance
How we roll
At RAW Impact, we’re committed to upholding best practice and accountability in everything we do. We’re a registered international non-profit organisation in Cambodia and Australia.
Finance
Valuing each and every supporter we strive to gain maximum impact for every dollar raised and invested. We realise the exceptional value of a skilled and highly efficient administrative team as well as a strong strategic projects team in-country. Our income is split 7.5% for our compliance and administration, 10% for growth and awareness and 82.5% for RAW Impact projects.
The majority of our income (approx 60%) is derived from Team Trip participant fundraising, approximately 10% from regular monthly givers, with the balance coming from corporate supporters, grants and one-off donors.
Structure
RAW Impact International Limited is a registered non-profit organisation in Australia, with a Board of Directors in place. Reporting to ACNC and undertaking annual external financial reviews.
RAW Impact Organisation is a registered Non-Government Organisation (NGO) in Cambodia, fully accountable to the Cambodian Department of Taxation and operating under NGO compliance.
Approach
Our approach to community development is underpinned by our strong values and is driven by current best-practice principles that guide our work. We understand different communities require different approaches. Cultural norms, government regulations, local economy, physical environment and other factors such as the stories, culture and heritage of a community all require careful consideration and a unique response. The skills and abilities of individuals within the community should also be empowered and activated where possible.
In conjunction with Elders, Leaders and local stakeholders we seek to listen to understand real needs and situations first, driven by our relationships approach. Evaluating and tracking our outcomes and impact, we adjust accordingly to maximise results, capture lessons learned and scale success. We leverage our Media team and online platforms, giving timely feedback to supporters and engaging those joining us in Raising Awareness Worldwide.
People
Our RAW Impact Board consists of highly professional leaders who have been with us from the beginning. They support by creating and shaping RAW to be what it is today, providing professional consulting advice, high-level strategic planning and guidance as well as ensuring compliance and governance. Their well-travelled, hands-on investment in RAW including bringing their own families on multiple trips with us, puts RAW in a great position as we navigate the future ahead. Troy and Nicole Roberts, in their executive positions within RAW, also maintain a seat on the Board of Directors.
With a Crew of 21 based in Cambodia and 14 in Australia, we are privileged to work with a diverse International team of passionate staff and volunteers including some amazing Cambodian Nationals. We plan to continue expanding our team across Cambodia, Australia and other locations abroad! This will include training a team of experienced Parachute Crew to lead out on our Team Trips.
