Giving Philosophy

The Foundation believes in creating a 'local buying cycle' where BHP's procurement spending translates into direct investment back into regional communities. Their theory of change focuses on strengthening small, local and Indigenous businesses as a pathway to more resilient regional economies. They prioritise capability building over pure grant-making, with strategic initiatives like Trading Tracks providing targeted mentoring alongside funding.

Wealth Source:BHP (mining company - iron ore, copper, coal, petroleum)

Tips for Applicants
