McKinnon (formerly Susan McKinnon Foundation)

The Susan McKinnon Foundation, rebranded as McKinnon in 2025, is a private philanthropic foundation focused on strengthening Australian democracy and governance. It funds and supports work on electoral reform, parliamentary integrity, public sector capability, and cross-party collaboration.

Its explicitly non-partisan stance — working with all sides of politics rather than advocating for any particular party or ideology — makes it distinctive in the Australian policy landscape. The foundation tends to focus on institutional reform (how decisions get made) rather than policy outcomes.
