Our Gift Fund

The Friends of Kings Park Gift Fund provides valuable funding to support important scientific, conservation, horticultural and educational projects to protect and enhance the natural environment of Kings Park and Western Australia’s native flora.

Over the years, donations from members and the public, along with dividends from Minderoo Foundation shares, have enabled the Gift Fund to support a wide range of projects in Kings Park.
