How to donate.

WA is incredibly fortunate to have a resource like RTYF to support the development of our young sailors. The Directors believe that the sport of sailing in WA would not be nearly as successful, and of such a superior standard without the foresight of the founders of the Ron Tough Yachting Foundation.

Currently we ‘bat well above our weight’ compared to the rest of Australia. We support the sailing accomplishments that Western Australians have achieved. We have some incredibly talented athletes currently taking the sailing world by storm, but we need to encourage more young people to get involved and to progress to a higher level. RTYF, with your help we can make that happen.

To continue our work to build a strong sailing community and get more people of all ages involved we need your help.

If every sailor and club Member who loves sailing as a leisure pursuit and a competitive sport wants to see future generations enjoying the same, they are invited to put their hand in their wallet to donate to this Foundation. We are committed to having a strong and thriving sailing community.

We would like to achieve our goal of being able to pay out $150,000 in grants each year to support the future generations, but we have to ask you and club members of all the Yacht Clubs in WA for your financial support to be able to achieve this. Contributions can be made through personal donation or via your club membership.

Sailing is a sport that has given a lifetime of enjoyment to a great many people. The enjoyment comes from a mix of challenges, lessons learnt, great comradery, and building a deep love and respect for the water and the wind.

Personal Donations.

Tax-deductible personal donations can be made by direct deposit. Please contact us here

Yacht Club Donations.

RTYF has relied on the support of many Yacht Clubs in Western Australia. The amalgamation of contributions (large and small) from sailing Clubs makes a big difference to our sport and our young sailors.

Bequests.

If you share our vision that future generations should have the opportunity to build a love of sailing, then help us to make a lasting difference.

After providing for your family and friends, consider how you can help with a gift to RTYF in your Will.

Every person is different therefore gifts can take many forms.  They may be:

  • The residue, or a percentage, of an estate,
  • A specific amount of money,
  • Specific assets such as shares, property, or other items.

Consult your legal advisor, (a solicitor or trustee), to ensure your Will is written to achieve the outcomes you intend. The best way to help us is to leave your gift to The Ron Tough Yachting Foundation ‘for its general purposes’. This allows us to apply your funds where they are needed most, however, if you have a specific purpose in mind for your legacy then please contact us to discuss your thoughts.
