Purves Environmental Fund Supports proposals that meet the Fund’s current focus areas: degradation of key biodiversity habitat, unsustainable management of natural resources, and pollution. The Purves Environmental Fund’s vision is an environmentally sustainable world in which biodiversity is preserved.
Their mission is to advance, primarily through education of individuals and organisations, environmental sustainability and preservation of biodiversity.
The Fund’s charitable purposes are:
– To protect and enhance the natural environment
– To enhance the protection of Australia’s unique biodiversity for the benefit of future generations through the protection of native species and the ecological processes that support them, particularly in the primary production landscape
– To provide information and education about the natural environment and to improve the Australian community’s understanding of the urgent need for greater sustainability
– To support scientific research and field projects that are aimed at supporting catalytic work to find solutions for important environmental issues not currently supported by environmental groups or government.
If approved, the maximum funding period will be up to 12 months (some exceptions may apply).
