The AEGN brings together philanthropists who care about the environment and enables them to become better at what they love doing. Our members co-fund, share networks, go on field trips together, attend private briefings and much more. Above all, our members discover that far more can be achieved through working together than by acting alone.Established in 2009, we are a member based organisation that aims to help members become more effective environmental grantmakers through information sharing, collaboration and networking. We also aim to grow the amount of philanthropic funds going to the environment within Australia.The AEGN provides the means for environmental grantmakers to:• Connect with, encourage and challenge one another• Explore environmental issues and grantmaking• Promote, diversify and expand environmental philanthropy
