the Bluewater canal estate at Trinity Beach/Park
The Queensland government authored a special Deed of Agreement which allowed the very controversial canal estate development on Cairns northern beaches to go ahead, but with some conditions. One of the conditions was that the developer (Consolidated Properties) would have to contribute $50,000 to local environment community groups. A panel was organised to facilitate this and the Cairns Frog Hospital was chosen to receive some of the money. We would like to acknowledge and thank Consolidated Properties for the $10,000 that was allocated to us. This money helped to continue our work for another six months and also provided us with a hospital grade, biological air filter.

Animal Welfare, Cairns
Assistance to cover care costs in the amount of $1,000 which paid for food and medications.

Terrain, Ltd
Helped us with some of the costs for our facility relocation in November 2007 to the amount of $1,100

the Reef Casino Community Benefit Fund
We have received two grants from this fund which have been used to buy a new computer and printer and some software to replace our hodge-podge second hand setup which was always breaking down! Thank you CBF staff for your support.

AAMI small grants program
We received a near photo quality colour A3 printer from AAMI which has been pivotal in raising the professionalism of our display material. Without this item, we would have still been pasting up poster materials by hand onto cardboard! Thanks AAMI.

Educational books and supplies purchased for us
We have received valuable educational materials in the form of some very expensive biological and science texts purchased for us by individuals in the USA. We'd like to thank Dr. Ann Paterson of AR and the late Harriet Shapiro who's son Carl purchased the books on her behalf. The more we learn, the more we can achieve.

Carl Shapiro has also purchased supplies for us and shipped them down including a laminator and some very nice gloves that aren't available here. Thanks Carl and Harriet!
