The purpose of this project is to provide resources to citizen science groups operating in the Great Barrier Reef region to help them improve organisational funding amount and stability.
Funding for citizen science is typically provided by short-term grants, from individuals, governments, or foundations. Resources for many citizen science organisations are limited, and organisations typically spend a large amount of capacity in looking for new revenue. This cycle limits the capacity of citizen science organisations to meet their mission. Uncertain funding limits long-term planning critical for engaging volunteers, providing consistent data and building relationships with partners.
