Our Culture

Workplace culture

The workplace culture of Nature Glenelg Trust is fundamental to the way our organisation operates and is a key reason for our success.

Our culture is exhibited daily by the proactive and passionate way we deliver our work, the respectful way we treat each other, the generous way we share our knowledge and the genuine, open and personal way we communicate and engage with our community of supporters. We value collaboration, and work actively with others to get things done.

We seek out and fill gaps to augment the greater conservation effort. We identify, test, trial and deliver creative solutions to environmental problems and do not shy away from doing things differently, as it creates opportunities for learning and improvement.

We seek to understand the history of the unique places we work in, recognise the significant connection of people to place, and the need to foster this in the management of our own reserves. We listen to, respect and support the aspirations of First Nations people.

Giving culture

The philanthropic culture we seek to foster in our community of supporters is built on a long-term foundation of trust and a shared, deeper understanding of our work.

We do:

• commit to working directly with donors in a respectful, relationship-based way.

We do not:

• use fundraising techniques that are intrusive or persistent, or rely on negative (guilt-based) messaging.
