• WHO WE ARE • Minderoo Foundation is a modern philanthropic organisation. We take on tough, persistent issues with the potential to drive massive change. We incubate ideas and accelerate impact. We push the limits of what is believed possible. Minderoo is independent, forward thinking and seeks effective, scalable solutions. We are proudly Australian, and one of Asia’s largest philanthropies, with AUD $847 million committed to a range of global initiatives. • HOW WE WORK • Most of our projects begin with a sense of curiosity – is there a better way? Through a collaborative, evidence-based approach we strive to solve major global challenges through our seven key initiatives. We both support and fund early-stage innovation, develop major programs on the ground in communities, and advocate for change at domestic and international policy forums. Everything we do is driven by a deep care for people and a mission to improve the world for future generations. We aim to empower both our employees and others to have a positive impact through inclusion, collaboration and, most importantly, kindness. The world needs more of it. • OUR APPROACH • • Early Stage We start with the challenge “it can’t be done”. We are willing to work outside the system to back unconventional solutions. We devote research teams, pilot programs and data to tough issues. • On the Ground By identifying the connections between issues, we create new models to push the limits of what is believed possible. We engage people at a local level to co-create solutions. • Policy We get the right people in the room and share our proven models between philanthropists, faith, business and government leaders to develop policies for long term change.
