Private Philanthropic Trust

ABOUT YOUR ORGANISATION

For us this is all about impact. About making a difference where it matters. About unlocking innovative, scalable, and sustainable change. And doing it now.

We are a private philanthropic trust focussed on investments that enable meaningful system-wide impact for First Nations, Climate Change, Disability and Christian Faith. This change is only possible by investing in people and organisations who are at the heart of the issues, social entrepreneurs applying innovative and creative thinking to identify and implement outcome-focused solutions.

The urgency in our ambition, driven by our spend-down approach, embodies a bold but considered approach. With a bias for interventions that have the potential for scale, we listen, we measure, we learn, and we adapt so we can support our partners to be the most effective and impactful they can be.

We are looking for people who are driven by our ambitions, align with our approach and share our values.
