The Foundation Board

Established in 2011, The Australian Ballet Foundation Board aims to attract, encourage and honour acts of generosity by fostering relationships that will benefit the company’s financial future success.  

Its members – a group of volunteer community leaders and philanthropists – have been instrumental in securing the support needed for The Australian Ballet to continue thriving as a national cultural leader.

The Australian Ballet Foundation Board is governed by the Philanthropy Committee who are a sub-committee of the Board. The Philanthropy Committee is responsible for overseeing the strategy and direction of the Foundation Board, ensuring alignment to The Australian Ballet’s strategy and Philanthropy team’s goals.
