Key takeaways

This funder gives priority to Australia, and its grants have gone to Australian wildlife projects, so work based elsewhere is unlikely to fit.
Its annual giving is £425,887 and the annual report gives no grant range, so keep any request modest and tie it to a specific piece of work.
No application process is published in the annual report or the register entry, so contact the funder first, and ask it to clarify its listed exclusion of grants for protecting Australia's natural environment, which matches its stated purpose.
Most of its grant funding is expected to go to one Australian organisation, and trustees decide grants at their discretion from donations received over a twelve-month period, so a small group outside that organisation should expect a limited and unpredictable pool.
