<h1>Help build the future of Souths Rugby</h1><p>Souths has always been more than a rugby club. For more than 75 years it has been a place where young players are developed, where lifelong friendships are forged, and where a proud Brisbane community comes together season after season. The Souths Rugby Fund exists to protect that legacy — and to build what comes next.</p><h2><br></h2><h2>What we&#39;re raising funds to do</h2><p>We&#39;re raising funds to secure and improve the home of Souths Rugby for the next generation of players and members. Our priorities are:</p><ul><li><strong>Rebuilding and expanding our playing fields</strong> at Yeronga Memorial Park — including the long-awaited second field — so juniors and seniors have the grounds they need to train and play.</li><li><strong>Upgrading our facilities and clubhouse</strong>, from training amenities to the spaces where our community gathers, guided by a long-term facilities master plan.</li><li><strong>Growing rugby at every level</strong>, from our smallest juniors through to first grade, and funding player development and scholarships that open the door to kids who might otherwise miss out.</li></ul><p>Every gift goes toward lasting improvements — the kind of capital projects a club can rarely fund on match-day takings alone.</p><h2><br></h2><h2>Why we care about it</h2><p>Rugby at Souths changes lives. It gives young people a place to belong, a chance to discover their strengths, and a community that stands behind them long after the final whistle. But great clubs aren&#39;t handed down for free — fields wear out, facilities age, and the cost of doing things properly keeps rising. We&#39;ve watched families, past players and volunteers pour themselves into this club for decades. This is our way of making sure that what they built is still here, and better, for the players who haven&#39;t laced up their boots yet.</p><h2><br></h2><h2>How we plan to make it happen</h2><p>Donations to the Souths Rugby Fund are made through the Australian Sports Foundation, which means <strong>every gift of $2 or more is tax-deductible</strong>, and 95% of every dollar flows straight back to work for Souths. Alongside your donations, our volunteer committee runs a year-round fundraising program — annual giving, a major community raffle, corporate partnerships and signature events — so the Fund grows a sustainable base rather than relying on any single appeal. We keep our costs low, route every genuine gift through the ASF for maximum impact, and report transparently on where the money goes.</p><p>You can help in more than one way: make a one-off tax-deductible gift, set up a monthly donation, or spread the word to fellow members, family and friends.</p><h2><br></h2><h2>Who we are</h2><p>We are the Souths Rugby Fund — the dedicated fundraising body for the Souths Rugby Union Club (the Magpies) and Southern Districts Junior Rugby Union in Brisbane. Established to provide lasting, tax-effective support for the club, we are run by a committee of volunteers drawn from the Souths community: past players, parents, members and supporters who share one goal — a stronger Souths for the generations to come.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>very contribution, large or small, helps build a better club for the years ahead. Thank you for being part of it.</strong></p>
