About Fire Fund

Minderoo Foundation’s Fire Fund was launched early in 2020 to respond directly to the Australian bushfire crisis of 2019/20.  The Fire Fund pledged AUD$70 million to support volunteering efforts, revitalise local communities and develop a long-term blueprint for wildfire and disaster resilience in Australia.

The partnership with Disaster Relief Australia (DRA) will see the Minderoo Foundation Fire Fund support Disaster Relief Australia to scale its operations in fire-affected areas across the country. DRA is coordinating deployment and providing on the ground support for recovery efforts. Minderoo Foundation Fire Fund is also meeting travel and accommodation costs for volunteers.
