Susan McKinnon Foundation
The Susan McKinnon Foundations’ (SMF) aspiration is for Australia to have the world’s most effective governments, focused on the long-term interests of the Australian Community. We incubate, deliver and support practical improvements to how government works. Our mission focuses on three key areas – effective elected representatives, robust state institutions and quality policy dialogue. We are politically neutral and motivated only by the public good. We were established in 2015 by tech entrepreneur Grant Rule and his wife Dr Sophie Oh, a public health professional.
