Call for funding
Calling all supporters!
The BKFA needs to find new sources of financial support while we work towards AusAID accreditation.
To help us in this effort, we're asking for you to ask our politicians for support.

To facilitate this process, we have drafted a letter template. Feel free to adapt this as you prefer.

Who to contact
Your local MP
Firstly, we would like each person to contact your particular local federal member. Click here for a list of Ministerial members (where you can find email and postal addresses for your local Federal member of Parliament and the Federal Ministers).
