Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal The Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal is the formal fundraising arm of the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program, aimed at saving the Tasmanian devil from the devestating effects of the Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD), a unique contagious cancer, spread by biting, which is consistently fatal. The Tasmanian devil is now listed as an Endangered Species. Administered by the UTAS Foundation, this Appeal has raised more than half a million dollars in corporate and public support for the devil, funding 34 research grants and scholarships to date, to a value of over $336,000. The next grant round closes 28 February 2009. The discovery of Cedric, the disease resistant devil was a project funded by the Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal. All donations to this Appeal are directed IN FULL towards research and management programs across the globe endorsed by the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program. Donations are tax deductible.
