As a community-based organisation, the AIIA greatly appreciates donations from individuals who support its national activities and branches. We do not accept anonymous donations. We disclose all donations over $5,000 in a single financial year and, unless otherwise asked, all other donations for the previous financial year on this page and in our annual review. All donations are tax-deductible. Scroll down to see a list of our Lifetime Friends, Annual Friends, Donors, and Legacy Donors.
A Word from the Patron
“As Patron of the Friends of the AIIA I extend my thanks to all Friends and donors of the organisation. Your support enables us to fulfil our mission to help Australians know, understand and engage more in international affairs. With branches in every state and territory, as well as a national office in Canberra, the AIIA is a community- based organisation. We could not function without the generous support of our members from around the country. I encourage all those who are in a position to do so to donate to their local branch or national office. Donations of any size are truly welcome.”
Zara Kimpton OAM FAIIA, Patron of the Friends of the AIIA (2008-), Fellow of the AIIA, Lifetime Friend, National Vice President (2012-2025), President AIIA Victoria (2003-2006) and leading individual donor to the AIIA.
