Australian Environmental Grantmakers Network (AEGN)

About us

We are a national network of philanthropists, united by our vision for a future where our climate is stable, and people and nature thrive.
In 2008, a small group of Australian philanthropists founded the Australian Environmental Grantmakers Network (AEGN) to create a safe, trusted space to share environmental funding opportunities, insights and experiences.

Today, we are Australia’s peak membership organisation for environmental and climate philanthropy. Our 180+ members are trusts, foundations and individual donors, including long-standing and well-known philanthropic institutions like The Myer Foundation and The Ian Potter Foundation, community foundations and many private philanthropic funds and donors.
