To promote the conservation of Queensland's heritage places, the National Trust runs public appeals known as Heritage Conservation Appeals. These appeals offer contributors the ability to claim their donations as a tax deduction.

There are currently over 20 active appeals of varying sizes and details of these are listed below. Many of the appeals are for the conservation of churches, but there are also appeals for other types of buildings, such as clubs and private residences. There are even appeals that are not for buildings such as the appeal, campaigned by the Christ Church at Milton, for the conservation of significant gravestones situated adjacent to Lang Park.

Heritage Conservation Appeals are for the conservation of places or items of heritage significance, such as those on the National Trust Register, the Queensland Heritage Register, or heritage registers of local government or the Commonwealth Government. Conservation includes maintenance and repairs that retain the place's significance.

The National Trust charges a small percentage fee of funds raised for hosting the appeal.
