MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Since our last newsletter, our team and Chair have been travelling across the country, visiting current and prospective grant partners. In late July, I accompanied the Australian Environment Grantmakers Network CEO, Claire O'Rourke, and around 12 other private environmental funders on a week-long field trip in the Northern Territory. During the week, we met with a range of environmental advocates, First Nations organisations and Indigenous ranger groups. The trip extended my knowledge and understanding of issues around water licence allocations, land erosion and degradation from feral species, and the opportunities for renewable energy projects to support remote communities. Our Chair, Craig Drummond, has also ventured to the Northern Territory in July, visiting Children's Ground, a long-time grant partner of the Foundation. Accompanied by Alberto Furlan, our Senior Program Manager – Community Wellbeing, he visited Children's Ground https://mailchi.mp/ianpotter/the-seahorse-54-sept25
