The Menzies Foundation aims to amplify a leadership movement to support Australians to clarify their purpose, build their leadership capability and act of the ‘greater good’. Every grant that the Menzies Foundation makes, aspires to contribute to platforms that ultimately unlock capital at scale. Consequently, it is imperative that we bring the same ambition and rigour that defines our grant making approach, to consideration of the investment of the Foundation’s corpus, and the way that this can support the development of blended capital solutions to build sustainable systemic change platforms.
In 2023, the Menzies Foundation collaborated with Walsh Bay Partners and Brightlight to implement the Impact Management Project’s A/B/C Investment Framework, prioritising the development of an impact measurement framework. This effort underscores the Foundation’s commitment to aligning investments with its mission, as explored in “The Great Shift” case study.
Powered by the Menzies Foundation, view our exclusive webinar series “The Great Shift: How Trusts and Foundations are Revolutionising Philanthropy with Responsible and Impact Investing.” Hosted by Brightlight, in partnership with OnImpact, this series delves into strategies to amplify impact goals, drawing inspiration from the Foundation’s dedication to fostering leadership for the greater good.
