Giving Philosophy

The foundation approaches giving by enhancing the economic sustainability of regions within the operational footprint of BHP and BMA assets in Queensland. It does this by supporting programs and initiatives that target local business training, development needs, workforce development, innovation, and the productive capacity of business and industry.

Wealth Source:The foundation's funding primarily comes from BHP (BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance - BMA, and BHP Billiton Mitsui Coal - BMC), a global mining company. BHP contributes financially to the Local Buying Foundation for every approved transaction made through its broader Local Buying Program.

Tips for Applicants

Applicants should demonstrate how their project will enhance economic stability, support local business training and development needs, or foster workforce development, innovation, and business capacity in the Central Highlands, Isaac, or Mackay regions of Queensland. Priority may be given to initiatives supporting Indigenous businesses and entrepreneurs. Engaging with the Local Buying Foundation Advisory Committee members who represent regional economic development interests can also be beneficial.
