About
Environment & Sustainability was an Impact Area under the Foundation's Strategic Plans between 2016-2022.
Lord Mayor's Charitable Foundation continues to grant in this space under the current Strategic Plan within the Homelessness & Affordable Housing; Inclusive, Sustainable Economy & Jobs; and Healthy & Climate Resilient Communities Impact Areas.
Lord Mayor's Charitable Foundation is focused on reducing adverse urban impacts on the natural environment.

The Foundation's work in Environment & Sustainability spans across the Impact Areas, specifically the following Outcomes:

Watertrust Australia’s mission is to improve how water and catchment policy decisions are made in Australia. The Foundation’s interest is in healthy and resilient urban waterways.
