One EDO
In September 2019 the eight state-based Environmental Defenders Offices (EDOs) relaunched themselves as one merged national organisation, becoming the largest environmental legal centre in the Australia-Pacific dedicated to protecting climate, communities and shared environment by providing access to justice, running ground-breaking litigation, and leading law reform advocacy.
The Purves Environmental Fund (PEF) is a key supporter of this merger, providing essential capacity building assistance to grow and strengthen engagement with the general public and enhance its financial foundations to become self-sustainable by consolidating and establishing one national fundraising, marketing and communications team. The PEF encourages and supports key environmental NGOs to build and grow a diverse and stable income base to financially futureproof organisations and remove dependency on governmental grants.
The PEF has also provided non-financial support to the merger by connecting EDO with other philanthropic foundations, including initiating co-funding support from members of the Australian Environmental Grantmakers Network.
