Benefits of membership
The most important service provided to members is the ability to use our incorporated association status as a vehicle for applying for grants. Most community organisations don't need to be incorporated, and it adds lots of overheads that small organisations don't want. However, most grant providers will only deal with incorporated organisations; but, by being a member of Molonglo Conservation Group, your organisation can have the best of both worlds.
We are also a GST registered business, which allows us to purchase goods and services on behalf of members and pass on the tax credit. This may reduce the cost of members' purchases by the 10% GST.
We may also be able to provide members with business services, such as:
- websites
- bookkeeping and accounting
- banks accounts and money held in trust
- bill payments
- staff services
- accommodation
- conference room
- meeting rooms
- landcare trailer
- gazebos and display materials
Community services
We can provide a range of services to the broader community, such as:
- pamphlets and information packs
- land care and park care information stalls—eg for fetes and festivals
- waterwatch displays
- sponsorship of events
- workshops and seminars
- field days
- school talks
