How we use your donations
We use your donations in four main waysLizard Island Reef Research Foundation operates with very low overheads. All Trustees volunteer their time and expertise. We have no office and minimal administrative expenses, with the Australian Museum providing some support. Total annual costs run at less than 4% of funds raised – some years considerably less than this figure. All funds donated go directly to support science and maintain Station facilities.
Below we highlight the programs and facilities your donations support.
