The Reece Foundation works with volunteer tradies and local community partners to fund and initiate projects, locally and abroad, to provide clean water and sanitation to communities in need, to create long-lasting change.

Yes - we're registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission. While Reece is an important partner of the Reece Foundation, we are an independant charity and endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient.

If you're a tradesperson and you want to use your skills to make a difference, then you're eligible to apply for a volunteering assignment with us. All of our volunteer assignments are advertised here. If there are no vacant volunteer roles, but you're interested in hearing about future opportunities, submit an expression of interest form on our Volunteer page, or submit a general enquiry using the form on our Contact page.

It depends on the project.

Our volunteering assignments may range from a few days to three weeks, depending on the needs of the community we're supporting. We communicate the amount of time required when we contact you about a project. If it's not the right timing for you, that's OK - there'll be future opportunities.

The Reece Foundation support WASH projects that connect skilled volunteer tradespeople to communities in need of access to water and sanitation and/or irrigation and water solutions to food insecurity, both in Australia and overseas.

Before you apply you will need to:

• Make sure you're eligible. You must be a not-for-profit organisation or community group or individual or group of individuals sponsored by a not-for-profit or community organisation

• Have details regarding the specific opportunity you are asking funding for, including project timelines & budgets

You can find out more and, when you're ready to, apply for a grant on our Apply for a Grant page.

Grants awarded range between AU$5,000 - AU$30,000. When applying, you can request an amount that falls anywhere within that range, provided you're able to demonstrate how the funding will be used to meet the grant application assessment criteria.

No - the purpose of the Reece Foundation Grant is to provide access to water & sanitation to support better health in communities.

All grant applicants will receive an email notification to confirm that the application has been received. You'll then receive follow-up communication from us to inform you whether your grant was successful or not.
