The Meridian Global Foundation was founded in 2005 by four Perth-based business people who were looking to give back to their community in a sustainable and tangible way.
To ‘Inspire Philanthropy’ in everyday people so they can become an everyday philanthropist.
Every year we run a calendar of high quality, networking events. Targeted towards busy professionals that want to give back but lack the time to volunteer to do so, our events provide valuable business networking with like-minded, philanthropic individuals.
Our 'tell a mate' message is at the core of who we are and what we stand for. We believe that by sharing your philanthropic journey with friends, family, colleagues and connections, you can help inspire an entire generation of philanthropy.
At the core of our giving model is our Giving Circle. We make it easy and sustainable for people to donate, nominate a charity and feel a part of the giving process without the overhead of selecting and vetting charities to work with and support.
We want to give long into the future - not just for now. Our investment fund and strategy exists to allow us to do just that. With an ambitious goal to give away $1M in perpetuity, we mean it when we say we're serious about sustainable philanthropy.
