Fundraising priorities are designed to fulfil three objectives - leadership in plant science; sustain Australia; and connecting people to plants. The Foundation is supporting Bicentenary ‘Flagship Projects’ and ‘Key Projects’. These projects will enhance visitor facilities, increase scientific knowledge and its application, conserve our environment, and provide educational programs and experiences for the community. Other Foundation fundraising supports conservation of our invaluable heritage collections and the Foundation’s capacity to fundraise for the Royal Botanic Gardens & Domain Trust.
