Investing in significant, positive change.
The PMF Foundation invests in organisations that strive to make significant positive impacts socially, culturally, economically, environmentally, and politically.
About us
The PMF Foundation was established in 2008 as a private philanthropic foundation.
We specialise in supporting organisations and projects that intervene early, and champion capacity building and self-reliance in the people they provide support for. We value organisations and individuals who take a long-term strategic view in their approach to resolving the issues at hand.
At the heart of the organisations we support are innovative and dedicated people who we believe can make lasting and powerful change in their field of choice.
