BOUNDLESS EARTH LIMITED
About
Boundless Earth Limited is an Australian climate-focused philanthropy organization founded and backed by Mike Cannon-Brookes, co-founder of Atlassian. The organization aims to accelerate climate solutions at the scale and speed required for Australia to become a renewable energy superpower by 2030, working through the levers of philanthropy, investment, and direct advocacy.
Tips for Applicants
Given Boundless's focused approach (one topic at a time) and clear climate/renewable energy mandate, applicants should ensure their projects directly align with accelerating Australia's renewable energy transition. The organization appears to prioritize strategic partnerships and direct advocacy alongside grantmaking, so demonstrating how your work fits into broader systemic change would strengthen an application. No specific grant programs were identified on their website - likely they operate through direct partnerships and targeted initiatives.
Giving Philosophy
Boundless operates with a focused, topic-at-a-time approach, building strategies and scouting for partners and projects that align with their mission. They believe in using multiple levers - philanthropy, investment, and direct advocacy - to drive systemic change rather than incremental progress. Their theory of change centers on accelerating Australia's transition to renewable energy as a way to do its fair share in averting the climate crisis.
