Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2006Cyclone Larry relief fund
Donations can be made at any Commonwealth Bank branch. Cheques can be made out to: Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal account number 064-013-1000-6800. The SWIFT code for overseas customers making an internation transfer is CTBAAU2S An appeal hotline (Australia, +61 1800 150 411) can accept donations by credit card. Donations over $2 are tax deductable for Australians. If anyone overseas wants to snail-mail a cheque, I can pass them onto the appeal. (Please don't make the cheque out to me!) Anyone on the Christmas Card list will know my address, or you can send it directly to: Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal The Commonwealth Bank of Australia Queensland Government Banking Centre 240 Queen Street Brisbane, QLD, 4000 AUSTRALIA Yowie > Donations can be made at any Commonwealth Bank branch.

Any way to be sure that it'll actually help the victims rather than wind up in some high-dollar executive's salary?

That's a fund set up by the government, so it will be administrated by the government, so it should be safe. The fund has 5.6 million in it so far, and the largest donations have come from the qld government and some of the big banks. I know that the federal government has put 1 million into the fund, and given a further 40 million to the state government to help rebuilding. i guess this will go to rebuilding farms and infrastructure, but it's being administrated by the government so you should be ok!!
