FUNDRAISING
The AG Society is involved in special fundraising efforts bimonthly for a specific project, mainly focusing around saving an endangered species. We always welcome donations to help support Society projects. Donate here.
SOCIETY EXPEDITIONS
Each year the AG Society endorses a number of tours run by tour companies across Australia and around the world. These expeditions have a little extra something and are usually hosted by an AG Society representative, like one of our Advisory Council members, or by an adventurer or AG Society awardee.
SOCIETY EVENTS
The annual awards night is the Society’s premier fundraising event each year and brings together the best and brightest in adventure, exploration and conservation – the men and women whose exploits have provided so many highlights in the pages of the Australian Geographic magazine. The AG Society is also involved in occasional lectures, documentary screenings and social gatherings which showcase the AG Society and the passionate people it supports.
