SPONSORSHIP

       
 

A corporate partnership could enable a corporation to gain significant exposure within the region and via our website. Your logos can be used on all related material and you will be acknowledged in all publications relating to our sponsorship agreement. This will provide you with a strong association with a credible and globally recognised conservation and scientific institution and access to a broad demographic audience.

An individual partnership can be personalized to your interests with a range of small and medium projects for those with interests in community involvement or plant conservation interests. Support can be a one-off contribution or regular support. We are happy to discuss these options. You will be acknowledged on our website and in all publications and events related to your sponsorship. Contributions may include the sponsorship of particular families of plants, glasshouses, competitions, exhibitions, research projects and publications. There are many opportunities not just restricted to those we outline here. Below we summarise a range of programs being undertaken by the Herbarium, which could be fully or partially supported by your donation.

A bequest is a positive way to leave a lasting legacy in support of plant conservation and education. We can assist in the planning of bequests and trusts.

Donations made to the Janet Cosh Herbarium are tax deductible. The funds are managed under the university's financial management section and the Janet Cosh Management Committee overseas the correct usage of funds.
