ABOUT US

The Global Foundation is a citizens’ organization with extensive private sector membership, based in Australia. Fully independent of government and funded by its members, The Global Foundation promotes high-level thinking within Australia and cooperation between Australia and the world. It works with government and institutions, the private sector, academia and the community, to help shape longer term solutions to great challenges.

Alongside its broad and diverse membership base, the Foundation’s work is supported at the highest levels of society. The current Governor-General of Australia is Patron in Chief, with successive Prime Ministers of Australia and Leaders of the Opposition lending their bipartisan support, since the Foundation’s inception in 1998. The Foundation is also pleased to enjoy the active support of an increasing number of national and global eminent persons.

The Global Foundation fulfils a unique function as a custodian of Australia’s longer term national interest and has an unusual ability to combine global and local perspectives - to seek common ground among otherwise disparate interests, while remaining independent. In periods of uncertainty like the one we are now facing, this capacity to unify and coordinate non-partisan action is widely recognised.
