The Australian Geographic Society

Australian Geographic Each year, a portion of the Australian Geographic journal's profits are dedicated to the Australian Geographic Society, which is committed to supporting scientific research, protecting and fostering a love for our environment and natural heritage, encouraging the spirit of discovery and adventure and spreading knowledge of Australia to Australians and the world.

Over the past 20 years, the Australian Geographic Society has sponsored more than 1500 individuals and organisations.

The Society is a non-profit organisation and 100 per cent of all donations it receives go directly to Society-sponsored projects.
