Welcome to GHD Foundation

GHD Foundation funds programs and organisations that help develop resilient communities. Our grants support community relief as well as a major focus on equitable access to science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics (STEAM) education for a more diverse workforce of the future.

“GHD people have always made a difference in their local communities, but we saw that we could do more. We believe science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) is central to solving these  complex global problems.”

Jo Metcalfe, Managing Director, GHD Foundation
