Greetings. With just a few weeks left of the 2015-16 financial year, now is the perfect time for you to make a tax deductible donation to the Canberra Birds Conservation Fund (CBCF).
To donate, please visit the CBCF donation page on COG's website:
http://canberrabirds.org.au/conservation-2/conservation/donation-form/ .
Your tax deductible donation will support research and/or conservation projects relating to the birds of the Canberra region.
Information on the grants made to date are online at
http://canberrabirds.org.au/conservation-2/conservation/ . You will note that most have been for research projects but the Fund also provides small grants
for conservation and related projects.

Who is eligible to apply for a grant from the Fund?
The Fund welcomes applications from individuals and organisations for grants to support projects that will contribute to achieving its environmental objectives described above. Applications may be submitted at any time of the year.
