The Virginia Chadwick Memorial Foundation was established in July 2010 to carry on Virginia Chadwickâs work and build on her achievements especially in regard to the Great Barrier Reef and through environmental activities, including environmental education, environmental partnerships, Indigenous engagement, networking and knowledge sharing around the world.
As a non-profit organization, the Foundation will raise funds and harness resources to promote coral reef conservation and management by supporting development of skills, sharing of lessons learned and encouraging advocacy to protect and sustainably manage coral reefs and their associated ecosystems.

Famous quotes containing the words memorial and/or foundation:
“When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.””
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
“The institution of the family is decisive in determining not only if a person has the capacity to love another individual but in the larger social sense whether he is capable of loving his fellow men collectively. The whole of society rests on this foundation for stability, understanding and social peace.”
—Daniel Patrick Moynihan (20th century)
