Partners and projects
The BHP Foundation aspires to transformational relationships and partnering approaches which are mutually accountable, creating equitable power and supporting management of risks. To deliver, we adopt an investment approach which addresses the root causes of systemic sustainability challenges.
Our approach
We provide grant funding to innovative NGOs, think tanks, and national and international institutions with ambition to address the root causes of social issues and shift the underlying structures that prevent equity and sustainability.
Our investment approach seeks to:
- support national and local organizations that explore and demonstrate solutions to systemic barriers with potential to contribute to long-term impact
- encourage partner organizations to amplify positive outcomes to influence others and pursue greater impact beyond a project's immediate reach
- enable enduring impact by funding organizational capacity and supporting networks and learning to build a thriving field of partner organizations and change agents
