Wedgetail Foundation

Board Interlocks (4 shared directors)

Giving Philosophy

The foundation believes that restoring nature at the scale needed requires transformation of economic systems, not just conservation. They fund projects that protect and restore biodiversity, conduct research leading to biodiversity solutions, and raise public awareness about nature loss. Their approach emphasizes systemic change, combining indigenous, scientific and community knowledge, and supporting 'nature-positive by 2030' goals through practical action and innovation.

Tips for Applicants

The foundation runs a selective two-stage process: initial enquiry followed by invitation to submit full application. They seek projects that demonstrate systems thinking and transformational change, not just incremental conservation. Emphasize how your project combines multiple knowledge systems (indigenous, scientific, community), addresses biodiversity loss alongside climate change, and creates new nature-positive business or land management models. Case studies show they fund international work (e.g., Pro Eco Azuero in Panama) focused on reforestation and smallholder farmer partnerships.
