The Turner Family Foundation
Tips for Applicants
Align proposals with wildlife conservation, land restoration, or environmental education in Queensland or northern New South Wales. Demonstrate how your work connects to preserving Australian flora and fauna, and consider whether partnership or collaboration with the foundation's existing assets (nature refuges, Hidden Vale Wildlife Centre, University of Queensland partnership) could strengthen your application.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation prioritizes direct conservation impact through a combination of land stewardship, wildlife management, and environmental education. It values hands-on engagement with Australian ecosystems and seeks to share the Turner family's passion for the bush through both funding and operational involvement in conservation projects.
