The Future of the Alliance

Supporting the leaders who will define the future of the US–Australia alliance

The AmCham Foundation expands access to the education and leadership experiences that strengthen one of Australia’s most important partnerships.

Expanding Opportunity

The AmCham Foundation exists to strengthen the future of the US-Australia relationship by investing in education, leadership development, and the next generation of emerging leaders.

For more than 60 years, AmCham Australia has brought together leaders from business, government, and the broader community to strengthen the Australia-United States relationship. Through its programs, delegations, and events, AmCham has seen first-hand the value of investing in future leaders and creating opportunities for Australians to connect and engage with ideas of national significance. The AmCham Foundation was established to build on that legacy. As a not-for-profit charitable organisation, the Foundation expands this work through scholarships, grants, educational programs and leadership initiatives designed to create lasting public benefit. By supporting emerging leaders and broadening access to opportunity, the Foundation helps ensure more Australians can engage with the issues that will shape the future of the Alliance.
