Growing Victorian dairy through innovation and investment

What we do

Supporting Victoria’s dairy communities

Since 2000, the Gardiner Foundation has been investing in change that benefits everyone in the Victorian dairy industry, helping to create places where people want to live, work and invest. We welcome opportunities to work with people, communities, businesses and organisations to make this happen.
