Giving Philosophy
Minderoo operates on the belief that 'if we all do whatever we can with whatever we have, large or small, then each of us will help make our world a more equitable and positive environment for others to thrive in.' The foundation is data-driven, guided by global research, and uses four key levers: Fund, Advocate, Develop, and Evidence. Impact Missions focus on near-term inflection points that signify achievement, allowing agile response to urgent challenges while remaining aligned with founder values. The foundation emphasizes partnership transparency, community empowerment, and long-term sustainable impact through evidence-based approaches.
Tips for Applicants
The Artist Fund explicitly welcomes all art forms with no restrictions on project type - focus on demonstrating clear artistic ambition and how the funding will transform your practice at a critical career juncture. For humanitarian/crisis funding, the foundation responds rapidly to emergencies, so timing and demonstrated capacity to deliver aid effectively are key. The foundation values transparency and partnership, so clearly articulate your organization’s track record and how you will be accountable for outcomes.
