Our Story
Our goal from the beginning has been simple: to protect and ensure the survival of the Great Barrier Reef.
#November 1999
The Great Barrier Reef Foundation was established by a small group of Australian business leaders after the first severe mass coral bleaching event occurred in 1998. This phenomenon became the catalyst for safeguarding the world’s largest living structure, and it is the same passion for protecting the Great Barrier Reef that drives our Foundation to this day.
20 years on, the Great Barrier Reef Foundation is now the lead global charity dedicated to safeguarding the Reef from environmental change. We tirelessly raise the vital funds to protect the Reef, partnering with the world’s leading scientists, researchers, investors and innovators to develop projects that ensure a Great Barrier Reef for generations to come.
