About

Territory Natural Resource Management (TNRM) is the peak body for natural resource management in the Northern Territory, Australia. It works collaboratively with landholders, community groups, industry, and government to implement sustainable practices for the region's land, water, sea, and cultural assets. TNRM primarily delivers projects funded by government grants and also provides grants to local communities and landholders to support NRM initiatives.

Tips for Applicants

Applicants should clearly articulate how their project aligns with TNRM's regional natural resource management plans and priorities. Emphasize tangible environmental outcomes, strong community involvement, and a realistic budget. Demonstrate local need and capacity to deliver. Indigenous-led initiatives and projects that strengthen land and sea management practices are highly valued.

Giving Philosophy

TNRM's giving philosophy is rooted in empowering local communities and landholders to drive sustainable natural resource management outcomes. They aim to foster collaboration, provide practical support, and fund initiatives that align with regional NRM plans, leveraging local knowledge and capacity to achieve long-term environmental and cultural benefits across the Northern Territory.
