EGFHG Inc. is largely funded by the efforts of its members. We receive some support from the East Gippsland Shire Council in the form of rent assistance and, as all heritage groups in East Gippsland do, we receive limited funds from the Heritage Network East Gippsland who are also funded by the East Gippsland Shire Council.  Our membership fees are an important revenue source for the group. We regularly apply for grants for projects however, as with most things, funding is hard to obtain. We have had success in the past for digitising newspaper projects and hope to have success again in the future with other projects we are investigating. We are always trying to provide our members with new and better research tools which are increasingly expensive. Maintaining a modern professional quality printer, subscribing to internet Family History services, keeping our computers functioning and up to date are only some of the challenges we face. Many of our members gladly volunteer for any and every fund raising opportunity, however any offer of help is welcome and invited. Any donation or gift which is intended to further the groups aims of collecting, protecting and making widely available historical, cultural or heritage documents and records can be issued with a receipt which the taxation depatment will accept as tax deductible.
