Finance and Funding

CARDINIA ENVIRONMENT COALITION INC (CEC) is an
umbrella group comprising 25 local Friends, Landcare and conservation
groups.
The CEC works across the Central Western Port and
part of the Southern Yarra Ranges catchments.

The CEC portfolio area of Finance and Funding is detailed below.

The CEC receives its income from a range of sources including government funding and returns from its social enterprises. It also operates the Biolinks Enviornment Fund which is a tax deductible public fund listed on the Register of Environmental Organisations.

In August 2007 we launched OnEmission as a vehicle to attract donations from individuals and business to be used to sequester carbon through the planting of indigenous species in our catchment.

OnEmission is also designed to raise community awareness about greenhouse gas emissions and how individuals and communities can act to reduce their ecological footprint.
