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

What we do

Partnering to make a difference in people’s daily lives


How we do it

By investing in initiatives that advance STEAM education equity and provide support through our Community Relief funding.

How we are investing

  • Our primary focus is STEAM education equity, helping underrepresented communities access opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics, and building a diverse workforce ready to tackle future challenges.

  • We also invest in Community Relief, providing targeted support to communities facing urgent challenges and strengthening local resilience.

    Together, these efforts contribute to building resilient communities worldwide.
