<strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> Foundation Victoria<br />
The <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> Foundation was established in May 2001, with the goal<br />
of providing the <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> with a secure source of future income from<br />
the investment of bequests, seat sponsorships, Director’s Circle donations, and<br />
general donations.<br />
The <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> Foundation has Deductible Gift Recipient (Item 2) (DGR)<br />
status and is endorsed as an Income Tax Exempt Fund.<br />
During the year, the <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> Foundation continued to manage its<br />
capital base and enhance its capacity to provide long-term financial support to the<br />
<strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Botanic</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong>. Significant growth occurred within the sub-fund established to<br />
support the Plant Systematics Fellowship, an academic position to be jointly funded<br />
by the Foundation and the School of Botany at The University of Melbourne.<br />
While continuing to build its capacity, the Foundation has also been able to disburse<br />
two major funding grants for the Working Wetlands project, making an indispensable<br />
contribution to the improvement of RBG Melbourne’s future sustainability and its<br />
resilience to climate change and water scarcity.<br />
