  2. The Climate Council is independent and apolitical. We accept donations only for the purposes of the Council; we will not allow any donation to dictate our positions and priorities, nor compromise our independence and dedication to our mission.
  3. The Climate Council may refuse or refund donations at any time.
  4. The acceptance of any donation by Climate Council does not imply endorsement of other activities, undertakings or processes of the donor.
  5. Any donations solicited or accepted on behalf of the Climate Council by Councillors or staff must be used for Climate Council endorsed activities.
  6. Any donations accepted on behalf of the Climate Council should be directed to the Climate Council of Australia Fund (or Climate Council of Australia Ltd) and not to individual Councillors or staff. They will be directly deposited into the Climate Council of Australia Fund bank account.
