The Minderoo Foundation are a proudly Australian philanthropy, working to forge a fair future by courageously challenging inequalities and campaigning for meaningful change. Founded by Dr Andrew Forrest AO and Nicola Forrest AO in 2001, Minderoo have been delivering ground-breaking programs and research for over 23 years within Australia, for Asia Pacific neighbours and to the world. Determined to remove barriers that prevent the creation of a fair future, Minderoo focus efforts on three key areas – communities, gender equality and natural ecosystems. The three focus areas are complemented by a series of impact missions that allow the organisation to respond to existential threats and urgent challenges in an agile and targeted way. Minderoo recognise that some barriers to change are greater than others. In response, they apply the lens of climate change, gender equality and First Nations to all work, engagements, and partnerships to ensure they don’t lose sight of the inequity these areas face.
