How Donations are Used
Any person or organisation caring for our flora has an opportunity to make a difference by contributing to the Trust. Donations, no matter how small, will serve conservation in perpetuity as only interest on capital is used and all donations are capitalised. Even if contributions are not immediate, legacies left behind will be to the permanent benefit of our indigenous flora and are exempt from estate duty.

Every contribution makes a difference. South Africa is home to nearly 10% of the world’s flora, with over 20 000 species—many found nowhere else on Earth. Yet, many of these species are threatened by habitat loss, invasive plants and climate change. By donating to the Botanical Education Trust, you support vital research, education and conservation efforts to protect this irreplaceable biodiversity. Together, we can safeguard South Africa’s unique botanical heritage for future generations and help secure its thriving natural environment.
