Menzies Foundation
Our vision is to inspire and nurture Australia’s future leaders.
The Menzies Foundation supports leaders who have the capacity to make catalytic change to improve Australia's future.
We play a philanthropic role in supporting the development of leadership capability in our three priority areas: entrepreneurship in science, leadership in our schools, and guiding Australia’s response to complex global legal issues.
Those we support represent the ethos of Sir Robert Menzies: be the best you can be, no matter where you start; take risks, inspire others and be willing to work hard.
