Funding

Why do we need funding?
Since we aren't a government organisation, we don't get our money from the Australian government unless we apply for grants, which is what we are doing for our droids now.

The funding is used for a lot of different things: You may think that therefore we are not a not-for-profit organization, but just because we pay our workers doesn't mean that we aren't one. If we exist TO MAKE a profit, we aren't, but if our overall goal is to make the lives of people better and not to make money, we are one.
 * Paying our volunteers and members
 * Our projects
 * Advertising, publicity, website maintennance

Who do we get funding from?
Currently, we have one major sponsor: Sean Firth. He sponsors us for our portal and he has done so for a year.

We also are applying for funding from the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Finally, we have some minor donors and we would appreciate it if all of you would consider donating.

On the AoD News Site, there will be an awesome way to donate and get involved with the community.
