Animal welfare, environment and conservation funds

Established in 2018 by wildlife advocate Janét Moyle, to support the habitat, health and protection of our unique native animals in the Northern Rivers, to help them flourish.

Established in 2023, this fund supports regrowth and bolstering of the Big Scrub Rainforest here in the Northern Rivers, through a tree planting program that forms part of a regenerative agriculture farm.

Grants distributed through NRCF’s flagship Community Grants program to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, protect threatened and native species, improve animal welfare or protect the environment against degradation and pollution.

Established in 2020 by Naren and Sono King, to support the people, the animals and the environment of the Mullumbimby area.

Established by Suzie Deyris in 2019 to encourage, value and fund protection programs for vulnerable, endangered and critically endangered species in the Northern Rivers. This fund was established in memoriam of Gavin Greenoak, to celebrate and continue his passion for protecting our wildlife.

Established in 2022 by McGrath Real Estate: “We meet so many people moving to the area because of the beauty of our region and the friendly nature of our communities and feel the natural pull to help maintain these. By supporting projects to help increase our river health and support disadvantaged community members to get a hand-up not a hand-out, we will in turn support the Northern Rivers to thrive.”

This Fund was seeded at NRCF's Philanthropy night held at Rockinghorse Studios in April 2019, thanks to founder of Venture Organics Adam Gibson, and supported by Harvest Cafe, Newrybar and private donors. Once the fund reaches $50,000, NRCF can start distributing grants which will focus on supporting not for profit organisations with educational scholarships (eg. sending a young local person to study sustainable agriculture at university), site specific projects (eg. community gardens) and educational events such as regenerative agriculture or biodynamic courses and workshops.
