Our personality

Minderoo Foundation’s personality is informed, collaborative, confident, friendly, direct, caring and energetic.

Informed

Minderoo values research and working from an evidence base. We are driven by science, making us a reliable and trustworthy source for hard data and expert opinions.

Collaborative

We work closely with others to amplify our impact and the impact of our partners. We know that achieving a fair future can’t be done alone. Underpinned by our humility value, where we do not have internal expertise, we will partner with others to make sure that our impact is supported by robust evidence.

Confident

Backed by our data-driven approach, we are assertive and assured. We trust our people and our partners, but led by our humility value, we are never arrogant.

Accessible

We temper our position as an informed expert by being approachable and inclusive. We engage with partners and others by being welcoming, communicative, and inviting a dialogue.

Direct

Minderoo has an agility and an ability to take bold action, born out of our unique position. We don’t shy away from a challenge and speak truth to power.

Caring

Our core goal is to make a fair future, and we are passionate about taking bold, collaborative and selfless action in pursuing our vision.

Energetic

We work tirelessly to advocate for systems change. Guided by our enthusiasm and stretch target values, we work with our partners to accelerate impact. Although driven by an outcomes-first approach, we act swiftly and back bold solutions.
