About Us

Minderoo Foundation takes on tough, persistent issues with the potential to drive massive change. We incubate ideas, advocate for systems change and accelerate impact. We push the limits of what is believed possible.

Minderoo Foundation is proudly Australian, independent, forward thinking and seeks effective, scalable solutions. Through bold, collaborative and selfless action, we seek to dismantle the systems that entrench inequality and advocate for a fairer future.

Our Vision is for a society that values all people and natural ecosystems. We will do this by uplifting communities, supporting gender equality, protecting natural ecosystems and responding to emerging threats and challenges.

The Advocacy and Engagement team enables Minderoo to strategically support, defend or advocate for its causes, appropriately influencing decisions across political, economic, community, and social institutions. Targeted advocacy, engagement with key stakeholders, including policymakers and government agencies, and strategic communications are crucial for advancing our strategic goals. The 2030 Strategy also places a heightened focus on the role of Advocacy & Engagement in building the capacity of our partners and the broader for-purpose sector, to accelerate impact.
