In 2025, we provided a grant of $1M to Climate 200 to support community-backed independent candidates advocating for stronger climate action, political integrity, and gender equality. Climate 200 and the incredible candidates they support are stepping up to challenge Australia’s broken party system, keeping government accountable and demanding meaningful action on climate change.

In 2021, we granted $70,000 to Grata in support of Uncle Pabai and Uncle Paul’s climate case in the Federal Court. In 2024, we committed $1M to be granted over 3 years to the Grata Fund’s general work in strategic litigation. The funds will be used to create a pool of guarantees to support future legal action, and to employ Indigenous lawyers.

In 2020, we granted our first concessional loan to NJP. This involved a low-interest $100,000 loan to support their strategic litigation. In 2024, we committed $1M to be granted over 3 years to fund NJP’s research into a community-based, non- police emergency response to address discriminatory policing in cases involving people experiencing mental health challenges.

Over 2022 and 2023, we gave $1.6M to the grassroots organisation behind the Uluru Statement, with the mission of enshrining an Indigenous voice to Parliament in the Australian Constitution and to grant First Australian the right to provide advice to the Parliament on the policies that impact their lives.

We supported EDO with $1M in their efforts to develop a new methodology and legal case for Loss and Damages to sue a multinational carbon major for the damage caused by their fossil fuel operations. This work seeks climate justice for people who face sea-level rise, freshwater loss, bleached reefs and farming impacts in the Pacific.

In 2020 we funded three major Guardian Australia investigations, helping to shine light on under-covered issues including: 1. Dreams Interrupted, exploring mounting youth unemployment, 2. Childhood in Custody, exposing stories of incarcerated Indigenous children, and 3. The Voice, Ask Me Anything: a podcast series on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum

In 2023, our climate-focused B.I.G. Future Grant went to Parents for Climate, supporting their claim in the Federal Court of Australia against EnergyAustralia. The case challenges the energy giants’ misleading claims over its “carbon neutral” products, which the company claims to have “offset” simply by buying carbon credits.
