Bob Brown Foundation Inc

About

Bob Brown Foundation Inc is an environmental charitable foundation founded by Bob Brown that protects nature through direct action, legal defence, and scientific research. Based in Hobart, Tasmania, the foundation runs campaigns to defend ancient forests, stop native forest logging, combat toxic salmon farming, and protect endangered species like the Maugean Skate and Swift Parrot. The foundation supports the general community and works to preserve Australia's natural environment for future generations.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation values direct action, legal challenges, and science-based advocacy to protect wilderness areas and biodiversity. It supports campaigns that create measurable environmental outcomes, focusing on forest protection, marine conservation, and endangered species survival in Australia.

Tips for Applicants

Given the foundation's focus on environmental protection through direct action and legal defence, approach with clear, science-based proposals that demonstrate measurable conservation outcomes. Highlight how the project aligns with their existing campaigns (forest protection, salmon industry monitoring, endangered species) and requires direct intervention rather than general advocacy.
