Australian Conservation Foundation Incorporated

About

The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) is Australia's national environment organisation established in 1965. It advocates for stronger nature laws, climate action, and protection of forests, rivers, wildlife and threatened species. ACF operates as a membership-based advocacy organisation with over 583,000 supporters, focusing on environmental protection and climate justice across Australia.

Giving Philosophy

ACF focuses on advocacy, campaigns and community mobilisation to influence policy and protect the environment. As an environmental advocacy organisation rather than a traditional grant-maker, its giving appears directed toward funding its own programs, legal challenges (such as court cases against fossil fuel companies), and community engagement initiatives.

Tips for Applicants

As ACF is primarily an advocacy organisation rather than a significant grant-maker, opportunities for external funding applications may be limited. Those interested in supporting ACF's mission would typically do so through donations, memberships, or by joining their campaigns and petitions rather than applying for grants.
