A strategic direction for 2022 and beyond
It’s an exciting time of growth at the Peter Gilgan Foundation. After a period of reflection and strategic review we have a refreshed direction that centres around sustainability, equity, and reconciliation.
A redoubled focus on the fight against climate change and several new themes under our other priorities mean we will be deepening relationships, engaging new partners, and growing our team.
