The benefits of giving

The end of 2026 is clearly in sight and the final Audi Foundation fundraising raffle for the year is underway. As always, the rewards for supporting the work of the Audi Foundation and its dedicated not-for-profit partners make entering the raffle an easy decision to make. But also as usual, the Audi Foundation has ensured that in addition to the satisfaction of knowing you are helping to make a genuine difference to the lives of countless other Australians, your participation also gives you the chance to drive away in the superb, all-new Audi RS 5 Avant valued at $196,233.27 AUD (drive away).

As if that weren’t added incentive enough though, one other lucky participant will also go into the running to win the Ultimate Audi Experience at the FORMULA 1® AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2027 for two people valued at up to $25,000.

Ticket numbers are once again capped at just 12,000 and prices remain at $55 per ticket, meaning that the odds are nothing short of extraordinary for those mathematically-minded participants. The raffle runs until November 23rd this year or until sold out, which, with no ceiling on how many times you can enter, tends to occur first.

The two raffles that the Audi Foundation conducts each year are responsible for raising the bulk of the Audi Foundation’s funding – which is used to support the incredible work of the Foundation’s partner charities.

The work of these proven partners is ongoing, and as such, the need for funds to continue the invaluable work is also ongoing. In the field of health, the Audi Foundation is proud to support the life-saving work of the the Children’s Cancer Institute and its Zero program which is engaged in groundbreaking research and the ultimate goal of ending childhood cancer. The extraordinary work of the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation positively impacts the lives of the community's most vulnerable and their families while the work of the Humpty Dumpty Foundation in purchasing vital medical equipment for children’s hospital wards ensures the best medical equipment for these crucial medical facilities.

Adopting a different approach to the issue of health, CanToo promotes personal fitness and best health practices while at the same time raising funds to be used in combating cancer through the funding of important research projects.

In the field of mental health too, the Audi Foundation’s partners are delivering positive outcomes through the work of RU OK? and the distinctive Conversation Convoy, the youth-focused batyr Australia and Bully Zero.

Not-for-profits focusing on youth education and well-being are also an important focus for the Audi Foundation, with the work of the Country Education Foundation of Australia, Clontarf Foundation, Youth Opportunities and Zephyr Education Inc, also long-term partners.

In addition to these established charities and their ongoing programs, the Audi Foundation also supports sustainable communities through special crisis assistance when disasters such as flooding and bushfires place communities under extreme and unforeseen pressure.

The work right across all of the pillars and organisations has a proven, long-term track record and continues to deliver outstanding results and positively changes lives.

For this final raffle for 2026, the Foundation’s 17th since its inception, the chance to win the ground-breaking RS 5 Avant or the ultimate F1® Experience represents a significant additional incentive. This is a vehicle which represents the very cutting-edge of technology and the first RS model to boast high-performance plug-in hybrid drive.

Resplendent in Progressive red and riding on massive 21-inch six-spoke black metallic rims, the Audi RS 5 Avant is a fitting grand prize. As the first high-performance plug-in hybrid model to wear the coveted Audi RS badge, it represents the next level in performance and a new era for Audi Sport.

Valued at $196,233.27 AUD (drive away), it features the brand’s celebrated hybrid drive, a marriage of a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine with a powerful electric motor to deliver a combined system output of 470kW of power and 825Nm of torque. This sees the RS 5 rocket from 0 to 100km/h in a lightening 3.6 seconds – yet despite its incredible high-performance credentials, this new RS 5 Avant is also capable of delivering up to 76km of purely electric driving (WLTP).

Those performance figures represent an increase of 139kW and 225Nm over the previous model while its use of the very latest quattro technology and electromechanical torque vectoring make for a vehicle at the very leading-edge of performance and handling.

But with its RS interior design package finished in black with red accents, which further elevates an already stunning interior, coupled with the very latest in in-car technology and connectivity, the RS 5 Avant is as much a luxurious grand tourer as it is high-performance specialist.

For this Audi Foundation raffle though, a second prize is also on offer in the form of a luxurious trip for two to the FORMULA 1® AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2027. The trip includes return economy flights for two from the winner’s closest capital city in Australia to Melbourne, Victoria flying with Virgin Australia and is valued at up to $25,000 (depending on the winner’s city of departure).

This exclusive prize will see the winner and a guest also enjoy four nights luxury accommodation at the celebrated 1 Hotel Melbourne as well as VIP access to the Audi Trackside Suite right on the Albert Park Grand Prix circuit – the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the race as well as Audi Australia’s superb hospitality.

Of course the winner and guest will also enjoy transfers from 1 Hotel Melbourne to Melbourne Airport as part of this extraordinary prize.

The raffle is open to all residents of Australia aged 18 years or over and runs until 5:00pm (1700hrs AEDT) on Monday 23 November 2026, or until sold out. The lucky winners will be drawn from all entries on Wednesday, 25 November 2026, at 3:00pm (1500hrs AEDT).

A way to help others and simultaneously go into the running to win remarkable prizes, the Audi Foundation fundraising raffles are always an event not to be missed.
