Our focus areas
Safeguarding the Environment is one of our five key focus areas, guiding the way we give at Australian Communities Foundation.

In 2019, the Impact Fund raised $150,000 for the Invasive Species Council and its ongoing advocacy for a more concerted focus on abating major threats to our native species.
The Invasive Species Council has been working with environmental NGOs, policy experts and scientists to develop a package of institutional, legal and policy reforms that would engender a more concerted focus on abating major threats. The Council is now working to establish a threat abatement working group (with members for whom threat abatement is a core focus), further develop the proposed reforms and build the case for their adoption, create a cross-sectoral consortium (with members that conduct abatement or will benefit from the reforms) to demonstrate support for the reforms, undertake advocacy, and initiate collaborative threat abatement projects.
