The AEGN brings together philanthropists who care about the environment and enables them to become better at what they love doing. AEGN members co-fund, share networks, go on field trips together, attend private briefings and much more. Above all, AEGN members discover that far more can be achieved through working together than by acting alone.

Established in 2009, AEGN is a member based organisation that aims to help members become more effective environmental grantmakers through information sharing, collaboration and networking. AEGN also aims to grow the amount of philanthropic funds going to the environment within Australia.
