The Queensland Environment Fund has been set up to protect and improve the natural environment of Queensland.
Protect Queensland’s Environment
If you’re looking to donate to environmental causes in Australia, the Queensland Environment Fund provides a simple and lasting way to support conservation, habitat restoration, biodiversity protection and environmental projects across Queensland.
Queensland is home to some of the world’s most remarkable natural treasures. From the Great Barrier Reef and K’gari’s World Heritage landscapes to ancient rainforests, unique wildlife and precious waterways. Protecting these natural assets requires ongoing investment and community support
Creating a Lasting Legacy for Queensland’s Environment
The Queensland Environment Fund was established to create a permanent source of funding for environmental causes across our state. Donations are invested, with income distributed each year to support projects that protect, restore and enhance Queensland’s natural environment.
Unlike a one-off donation, your contribution helps build a long-term funding source that will continue supporting environmental initiatives for generations to come.
Your support could help fund initiatives that:
- Protect Queensland’s unique ecosystems and biodiversity
- Support conservation and habitat restoration projects
- Improve land and water management
- Safeguard threatened species
- Strengthen the long-term health of Queensland’s natural environment
Every gift contributes to a permanent legacy for Queensland’s environment.
