Support MICF
There are several ways you can support the Macquarie Island Conservation Foundation.
The Foundation aims to deliver a sustainable funding stream to facilitate conservation and research initiatives through grants and targeted funding of larger projects. We will use the money raised to fund a range of projects, including supplementary support for research and management initiatives, student projects and outreach activities which will benefit the conservation of Macquarie Island.
We can accept one-off donations, and reoccurring monthly or annual donations. You can make a donation in the name of someone precious in your life by selecting to donate in someone’s name through the donation portal. It is also possible to leave money in your Will or through your estate. This is a very special way to make a long-lasting contribution to Macquarie Island. Please contact us on info@macquarieisland.org and we can discuss the steps and options to make such a personal contribution. We will provide you with the information about a bequest to consider in your own time and answer any questions you may have. All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Members of the Macquarie Island Conservation Foundation can receive ongoing information about the island as well as contribute to the governance and direction of the Foundation. You will have the opportunity to be involved in Annual General Meetings, sub-committees and be able to sign up as a volunteer.
We seek volunteers to help the Foundation with community engagement. This will include helping organise and participate in community festivals, fundraising events and education and outreach. All volunteers need to be a signed up member of the Foundation and must be over 18 years of age. The Macquarie Island Conservation Foundation requires all volunteers who will have contact with vulnerable people as part of their role to have a valid Working With Vulnerable People Check. More information on volunteer opportunities will be made available to members.
