Mary Bremner Bequest Strategic Grants Program
Long-time member Mary Bremner made a bequest to the Society for the promotion of Western Australian native flora, and the income generated is expended through a strategic grants programme to further the Society’s Objects and strategic outcomes as outlined in its Rules and the priorities set in the Strategic Plan.
The initial Mary Bremner Bequest Grant Program has been replaced with the Mary Bremner Bequest Strategic Grants Program. New guidelines and have been approved by the Society Management Committee (the Committee) to guide the new program; available at this LINK
The new Mary Bremner Bequest Strategic Grants Program will be administered directly by the Committee which will award grants for strategic projects that further the Society’s Objects and strategic outcomes.
Proposals may be submitted to the Committee by WSWA branches and sub-committees to meet the strategic goals of the Society consistent with its Objects. Projects may also be undertaken by external parties in partnership with the Society branches or sub-committees.
There will no longer be a biennial call for projects, nor will there be an imperative to approve projects every year.
Who can apply for a Grant?
- Incorporated, volunteer community groups with at least one Wildflower Society member and with the support of a branch or sub-committee of the Society;
- Society sub-committees;
- Society Branches;
- Society members (collectively three (3) or more) brought together for the benefit of furthering the Society’s strategic outcomes; or
- Research or environmental management organisations with objects compatible with the Society’s objects engaged as partners with or contracted by the Society to further the Society’s strategic outcomes.
All applicant groups can discuss their proposal with a Committee member prior to submitting their application. The aim is to support the receipt of relevant applications for consideration.
