Wet Tropics Biodiversity Foundation

Giving Philosophy

The Foundation approaches giving with a strategic focus on landscape-level ecosystem functioning, emphasizing collaborative efforts with a broad range of stakeholders. They believe in direct community involvement and active partnerships with landholders, government entities, educational and scientific institutions, private sector companies, and other conservation and philanthropic organizations to achieve their environmental objectives.

Tips for Applicants

Prospective applicants or partners should highlight projects focused on the conservation and restoration of native ecosystems within the Wet Tropics, particularly those addressing threats like land clearance, weed invasion, and water quality issues. Emphasizing community engagement, indigenous involvement, and collaborative, on-ground activities will align well with the Foundation's strategic approach. Opportunities for volunteering and direct participation in their projects (e.g., seed collection, tree planting, citizen science) are also highly valued.
