Our Giving Model | Meridian Global Foundation

our model

The Oracle Fund -
giving that endures

The Oracle Fund is Meridian Global’s endowment model for philanthropy - a perpetual engine that ensures every contribution lasts far beyond the moment it’s given. Like the great endowments that safeguard universities, hospitals, and cultural institutions, the Oracle Fund invests donations so they grow over time.

Your original gift remains intact, while the investment returns are granted to high-impact charities each year. This means your generosity doesn’t fade - it compounds.
With every cycle, more lives are changed, more communities strengthened, and more legacies created. This is philanthropy designed to last: a fund that protects capital, powers sustainable growth, and delivers impact forever.

how it works

Endowment by design: generosity engineered to endure

You Give

Your contribution joins a collective pool with hundreds of others, creating scale and strength that no single donation could achieve alone. Every gift, whether large or small, becomes part of something much greater, setting the stage for sustainable impact.

We Invest

The Oracle Fund is managed by experienced professionals who apply the same principles of discipline and foresight used in major financial institutions. By investing donations, the Fund grows steadily over time, ensuring your generosity is never spent and forgotten but multiplied for future impact.

Returns Grow

Each year, the returns generated by the Fund are distributed as grants to carefully selected charities. This means causes receive ongoing, reliable funding that allows them to plan boldly, scale their work, and create long-term change.

Impact Compounds

Because the original capital remains invested, your gift doesn’t just make a difference once, it continues to generate returns year after year. This is philanthropy that builds momentum: a legacy that grows stronger, more impactful, and more enduring with every cycle.

Ethical Stewardship

Invested With Integrity

The Oracle Fund doesn’t just grow donations - it grows them responsibly. Every investment decision is guided by clear ethical principles so your generosity aligns with your values.

Negative Investments

Meridian will avoid any direct investment in industries deemed to have a well-documented and accepted potential negative ESG impact, such as: Tobacco, Uranium/Fossil fuels, Gaming, and Defence.

Neutral Investments

Meridian understands that investment in some managed funds may give rise to an indirect exposure to any of the above through the lack of transparency of the fund’s direct holdings, but that restricted investments would not be meaningful. In order to ensure adequate diversification and to deliver required returns, some investment in funds that may fall into this category is both necessary and acceptable.

Positive Investments

Meridian will seek active and deliberate investment in specialised funds and other financial products that deliver a tangible positive ESG impact. For example, Meridian may seek to invest (either directly or indirectly) in funds that specialise in companies that deliver positive environmental outcomes (such as development of alternative energy technologies); or in green/social impact bonds. The universe of responsible investment opportunities is expanding; meaning the opportunity for Meridian to invest ethically and commercially is rapidly improving.
