Heritage Conservation Appeals

To promote the conservation of Tasmania’s heritage places, the National Trust support public appeals known as Heritage Conservation Appeals. These appeals offer contributors the ability to claim their donations as a tax deduction.

There are currently a number of active appeals of varying sizes. Many of the appeals are for the conservation of churches, but there are also appeals for other types of buildings, such as clubs and private residences.

Heritage Conservation Appeals are for the conservation of places or items of heritage significance. Conservation includes maintenance and repairs that retain the place's significance. A copy of the requirements and guidelines for Heritage Conservation Appeals is available to download here

The National Trust charges a small management fee of funds raised for hosting the appeal.
