Community Purpose Contribution Scheme - The Mawson Club

The Mawson Club helps promote and develop Rugby League in the Canberra region and proudly supports our local junior and senior participants in the Canberra Regional Rugby League (CRRL) competitions each season.

We are here for our local community, whether it be for community organisations, charities or sporting teams and our hope is to continue to provide this support into the future.

The Mawson Club is a community-based club that is required by law to support the local community and surrounding region. The club's main objective as described in its Memorandum and Articles of Association is to assist generally in the promotion, conduct and development and propagation of Rugby League Football in the Australian Capital Territory and elsewhere.

Further to this the club is required to engage with the community and consider community needs in making Community Purpose Contributions (CPC). The following categories are prescribed as being allowable purposes:

·         Charitable

·         Recreational

·         Education

·         Social Inclusion, Equality or Cultural Diversity

·         Community Sport

·         Addressing Substance Misuse or Dependence

·         Women's Sport

·         Natural Disaster Relief or Assistance.

If you feel that your organisation falls within one of these category's then you can make a request by emailing info@mawsonclub.com.au
