Over the past three years our passionate leaf sponsors have raised enough money for much of the steel, copper and welding consumables needed for the tree. We still need to raise more funding for assembly and installation costs. You, your community group or business can help by sponsoring a branch; sponsorship for branches varies from $500 to $5,000. If you are interested in supporting the creation of the tree, please download our Sponsorship Proposal below and become a branch or trunk sponsor.

Thankyou to all the wonderful people who have sponsored leaves for the tree. We have over 1000 sponsors who have helped us to create the tree. Leaves have been sponsored in the names of loved ones lost to the fire, survivors, friends, dogs, cats, horses and kangaroos that perished in the fires, firefighters, CFA divisions, recovery organisations, Australians overseas, names of properties destroyed in the fire, garden clubs, tennis clubs, local businesses and all those who which to express their sorrow, compassion and hope for the future.
All our sponsored leaves have been made and an image sent out to each sponsor. If you haven't received the photo of your leaf yet, please and let us know so we can find your image for you.
If you still wish to sponsor a leaf for the tree, we do make special exceptions, especially for people who have lost someone to the fire. Just and we'll make arrangements to add another leaf to the tree.
