Why Donate?

Many community members and organisations today recognise the value of investing in the future of our beautiful region.  Everything we do has some impact on our natural environment.  Most human economic activity uses natural resources and our communities rely on the natural environment for our standard of living.
The Tom Farrell Institute for the Environment offers a unique opportunity for organisations and individuals to make a substantial and visible difference to the environment and community through philanthropy, donations, gifts and bequests.
Your gift can provide opportunities for young Australians and is an investment in the future of our region.
