Before you give: questions worth asking

Thoughtful giving begins with a conversation about what is needed. Money, practical supplies, professional skills and volunteer time all require different arrangements.

Ask about current priorities

Before buying or dropping off supplies, ask which items are being accepted, what condition they must be in and how delivery should be arranged. Storage and distribution needs change. An unplanned donation is not always useful.

Confirm the giving route

Use contact details published by the organization and ask for its current donation instructions. If you are sent a payment link, check the organization name and destination before paying. Request information about receipts and any conditions attached to a gift.

Be clear about your intention

If you want to support a particular activity, ask whether restricted gifts are accepted and how the organization handles them. For a recurring gift, ask how to change or stop the arrangement.

Giving to RRB

This website provides a giving inquiry route. It does not collect card details or process donations. Contact RRB to ask about current giving options and receipt arrangements. Tax treatment should be confirmed using the organization’s current documentation and advice appropriate to your circumstances.

Consider another way to help

If a financial contribution is not the right fit, visit Get Involved to ask about volunteering or a community partnership. A useful contribution starts with an agreed need and a clear next step.
