The Royal Society of Victoria is an independent, not-for-profit organisation.  Our ability to maintain our programs, promote science and foster universal scientific literacy in our community depends on membership fees, revenue from venue hire, sponsorships, donations and bequests. Partnerships with other organisations whose goals align with the Society’s is a key strategy for achieving program outcomes through pooling resources to achieve economies of scale; however, all partnership projects require co-contributions of resources, particularly where a volunteer base needs to be managed by professional staff and supported with project funding.

We are a registered Charity and all donations over $2 are tax deductible within Australia.
