What is it?
The Southern Fund is South Coast NRM's tax deductible gift recipient fund launched in March 2010.
What is The Southern Fund partnership?
In June 2008, South Coast NRM established a Deductible Gift Recipient Fund to support sustainable environmental, social, cultural and economic outcomes across the South Coast region of Western Australia.
By late 2008, South Coast NRM had established a unique partnership with Bendigo & Adelaide Bank Ltd (BBL), Community Sector Bank (CSB) and the Community Bank branches of Albany, Mount Barker, Tambellup and Cranbrook.
The Fund (account) was opened with CSB to facilitate and support regular donations, generated in part by select CSB and BBL customers, and to more broadly capture donations from other nominated activities, partnerships and relationships with the purpose of underwriting South Coast NRM’s on-ground activities.
A committee was established in August 2008 to administer the fund and determine its investment policy. The committee is required to meet quarterly and membership of the committee is reviewed annually by the South Coast NRM Board of Management.
How can I support The Southern Fund?
Make a tax deductible donation to The Southern Fund. Telephone South Coast NRM on (08) 9845 8537 or email
info@southcoastnrm.com.au for more information.
Can not-for-profit groups help too?
NFPs can simply open and operate a supporter bank account with CSB at one of the Community Bank branches of Bendigo Bank in the South Coast region-
Albany, Mount Barker, Tambellup and Cranbrook. A proportion of the banking profits generated by the deposit and loan accounts of our supporters will in turn support contributions to The Southern Fund.
