Australian Geographic Society Limited

The Australian Geographic Society Limited is a not-for-profit organisation established to support scientific research, nature conservation, public education, and exploration. It was founded by Dick Smith AC in 1987, shortly after he launched the Australian Geographic magazine in 1986.

Purpose and Activities

The Society is dedicated to advancing human knowledge and promoting positive environmental outcomes. It achieves this by providing grants to organisations and individuals involved in conservation projects and scientific research. The Society also aims to foster a community of well-informed and passionate Australians committed to addressing environmental threats.

Funding and History

Initially, Dick Smith pledged $100,000 annually from his business ventures to fund the Society's activities. Over the years, Australian Geographic has donated millions of dollars to support conservation efforts and promote spirit of adventure and discovery. Today, 100% of Australian Geographic's profits are donated to the Society, further enhancing its capacity to support worthy causes.

Structure and Impact

As a registered Australian charity, the Australian Geographic Society operates under the guidance of its mission to support conservation, scientific research, and education. The Society works closely with various stakeholders to ensure that its contributions have a lasting impact on Australia's natural heritage.
