Annual Giving
$25K
Grant Range
$1K – $100K
Tips for Applicants
Applicants should emphasise scientific rigour, environmental impact, and community engagement aspects of their projects. Given the small scale of giving, smaller, local projects focused on South Australian environmental or educational outcomes are more likely to align with the foundation's capacity and interests.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation supports scientific expeditions and environmental research projects that advance understanding of natural environments. It values community participation and educational components that allow diverse groups to engage with scientific exploration. Given its small annual giving capacity, it likely prioritises modest-sized projects with clear environmental or educational outcomes in South Australia.
