Scott Farquhar and Kim Jackson lead the Skip Foundation focused on audacious, big bet philanthropy.

At a time when Australia is rethinking how social change is funded, Skip Foundation is championing a more ambitious model of giving for projects that are solving root-cause problems in our lifetime.

Funding innovative programs in health, environment and education, Scott and Kim also support Pledge 1%: a global movement that Scott co-founded, embedding social impact into business. Scott chairs Pledge 1%, while Kim’s personal focus includes the Kim Jackson Scholarship at ANU: helping women from regional Australia to pursue engineering.

“Philanthropy has always been a powerful driver for me. Through Pledge 1% and Skip Foundation, we can help make giving back a fundamental part of business while backing ambitious projects that deliver meaningful, real-world impact.” Scott Farquhar

“Skip Foundation is supporting many important causes across equality, environment and health. One of the many programs I am proud of is the Kim Jackson scholarship at ANU – supporting young women studying engineering across regional and rural Australia. I hope this scholarship opens many doors for them, in the same way that studying engineering opened doors for me.” Kim Jackson
