About the organisation
The Judith Neilson Foundation (JNF) is an organisation established with the specific aim to improve society by addressing social, economic and resource inequities, meeting immediate needs and creating foundations and opportunities for people and communities.
The Foundation will initially operate in three key areas – meeting basic needs such as food security, shelter, water, and sanitation and supporting innovation to address these needs. To serve as a catalyst for social change through interventions that support the welfare of women and girls, such as domestic violence, homelessness, and financial empowerment. And finally, to strengthen society through community development strategies focused on economic growth, quality employment and access to education.
The Foundation has a global perspective, initially with a focus on Southern Africa and Australia.
