Where do funds go?

This is an important question and one that the Fiordland Conservation Trust Trustees are very keen to ensure is clearly identified. The aim of the Trust is to ensure that at least 90 cents in every dollar goes directly to projects. The Trust is working hard to establish a strong funding base that enables that very high amount from donations to go directly into projects. The Trust has contracted the services of a manager to undertake the day to day work on a part time basis. This is crucial to ensure transparency and efficiencies, but also to source outside funding from philanthropic organisations, corporate sponsors and businesses, and to maintain the relationships required to ensure these funding partnerships are successful.

The trust themselves do not undertake any projects. All projects are contracted to appropriate organisations with the relevant qualifications and experience. Many of the projects include a high number of volunteers who are dedicated to conservation, and have a great love for the work they are undertaking.
