All ensembles are made up almost entirely of volunteers, and for many years the Western Australian Charity Orchestra produced concerts to help fund-raise for Western Australian charities. In 2017 WACO Inc became an Australian Registered charity in their own right, and now their volunteers work in the community to make a difference first-hand in the lives of others.
The fact that these ensembles are staffed by volunteers highlights their commitment to giving back to the community. For years, the Western Australian Charity Orchestra used their performances to raise funds for local charities in Western Australia. In 2017, WACO Inc was officially recognized as a charity, allowing its volunteers to take an active role in making a positive difference in people's lives.
