Current Partnerships

These are some of the organisations and initiatives we partner with to make positive change together.

Mannifera

Dusseldorp Forum is part of a collective of Australian funders supporting a stronger democracy and fair economy.

 Mannifera makes grants to values-aligned civil society and First Nations-led organisations working across our five focus areas: Fostering First Nations Economic Inclusion, Building Fair Tax and Economic Systems, Improving Quality Public Debate, Fostering Inclusive Political Participation and Ensuring Accountable and Open Government.

Collective action is central to Mannifera’s approach. By fostering meaningful connections between grant partners and members, Mannifera identifies and leverages opportunities for collaboration that amplify impact. Manniferra also uses it’s collective power and voice as a network to advance campaigns addressing pressing democracy and fair economy issues.

Collectives Amplifying Impact

Like many philanthropic foundations, we face the challenge of how a relatively small family foundation—can make an outsized impact on the complex and intertwined issues that affect people and the places they live. We find the answer embedded in our DNA as an organisation, and the clue is in our name – Dusseldorp Forum.
