Kyegu Relief Fund Inc was incorporated as an association in New South Wales, Australia, on 29 April 2010. The objects of the Fund are:
• to provide relief to persons in a certified developing countries
• to provide relief support and assistance to people in emergency situations affected by natural disasters
• to ensure that development activities improve the conditions of communities in a sustainable way
• to ensure that development activities work in partnership with local communities and organisations
• to improve the well-being of those in need.

The Fund's management committee consists of persons having responsibility to the general community by reason of their occupation or standing in the community. The committee includes a clergyman, a retired member of parliament, a doctor of psychiatry and other professionals.

The Director, His Eminence Aenpo Kyabgon Rinpoche, has a BA in Tibetan Buddhist Philosophy and is also the Head of the biggest Monastery in Kyegu. The Fund has unique links to the community in this regard. The Monastery was founded in 1265 and the majority of the locals are its devotees. Whilst having strong ties to the local community through the Monastery, the Fund provides relief to all those in need regardless of race, religion, culture or political persuasion.
