The Minderoo Foundation

Established by Andrew and Nicola Forrest in 2001, Minderoo Foundation is a modern philanthropic organisation seeking to break down barriers, innovate and drive positive, lasting change. Minderoo Foundation is proudly Australian, with more than AUD $2 billion committed to 10 key initiatives spanning from ocean research and ending slavery, to collaboration against cancer and building community projects. At the height of the pandemic, Minderoo Foundation made available up to $320 million to assist Australia's effort in fighting COVID-19, including the purchase of millions of items of PPE equipment and quadrupling Australia's daily testing capacity. Minderoo Foundation is a founding partner of the International COVID-19 Data Research Alliance.
