Australian Ethical Foundation
Every year, we donate 10% of profits (after tax and before bonus) to the Australian Ethical Foundation to catalyse solutions for nature, climate resilience and justice, supporting early-stage initiatives, Indigenous-led approaches, policy reform and innovative models that can drive change at scale.
Our 10% difference
Since 2000, we’ve donated $13 million, driving positive outcomes for people, animals and the planet. Our aim is to support a healthier environment and stronger communities by advancing solutions that deliver lasting benefits for nature, climate resilience and justice.

How we create change
We use catalytic philanthropy to help unlock change that might not otherwise happen. We focus on areas where government and market efforts fall short, supporting initiatives that can demonstrate new approaches, strengthen collaboration, build momentum, scale and attract broader investment.
By working with communities, First Nations leaders, researchers, advocates and other funders, we help develop solutions that can influence policy, unlock capital and deliver lasting benefits for nature, climate resilience and justice.
Our partners
We partner with organisations and initiatives that are working to protect and restore nature and strengthen the resilience of people and communities. We prioritise opportunities where catalytic philanthropy can help test new approaches, influence systems and unlock broader support for long-term impact.
The Australian Ethical Foundation is a registered charity.
