Tips for Applicants

The Gnaraloo Wilderness Foundation primarily conducts its own conservation, research, and education programs rather than offering grants to external organizations. Therefore, prospective applicants should consider volunteering, internships, or collaborative research opportunities directly with the foundation if aligned with their environmental focus. Donors are encouraged to support their work through direct contributions.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation approaches its mission through a 'triple bottom line' philosophy, emphasizing progressive environmental effects through collaborative scientific research, responsible social engagement via community and school programs, internships, and volunteer opportunities, and positive economic outcomes through responsible wilderness tourism that supports conservation. They advocate for legislative recognition of turtle nesting sanctuaries and rely on donations and fundraising to support their direct conservation operations and research.

Financial Details

Source of Wealth

The initial conservation efforts at Gnaraloo were instigated by the Gnaraloo Station Trust, associated with the Richardson family, after they purchased the land in 2005. The Gnaraloo Wilderness Foundation was later created to facilitate these efforts. The foundation relies on public donations and has received significant personal financial support from its Chair, Karen Hattingh, who has provided professional consulting services and is owed substantial amounts, which she has committed not to claim if the foundation is unable to reimburse her. Historically, they also received some government grants.
