The Trustee For Arid Recovery Trust
Tips for Applicants
Arid Recovery is an operational conservation organization, not a grant-making foundation. It does not accept grant applications but rather collaborates with partners on research and conservation projects. Those seeking funding should look to Arid Recovery's major partners (BHP, South Australian Government) or consider applying for research grants through universities that Arid Recovery collaborates with.
Giving Philosophy
As an operational not-for-profit rather than a grant-making foundation, Arid Recovery does not provide grants to external organizations. Instead, it advances conservation by directly operating its wildlife reserve, conducting research, and partnering with other organizations. Its theory of change centers on creating predator-free environments within fenced exclosures to enable threatened species recovery, then using research and monitoring to develop scalable conservation strategies for Australia's arid ecosystems.
