By March 2010 the Transfield Foundation had finalised its objectives and pronounced on its website: ‘The Transfield Foundation has been established by Transfield Holdings and Transfield Services to continue to develop the philanthropic support of both companies in the communities in which we operate. In keeping with the pioneering record of both companies, the Transfield Foundation’s mandate is to invest in innovative programs that help support communities, with particular emphasis on the arts, technology and education. The Transfield Foundation provides funding and pro-bono services to eligible charities and non-profit organisations to assist with their operational, capital or project specific requirements, whether locally or internationally. The Transfield Foundation’s priorities are: employment and education, particularly for indigenous people; research programs advancing innovation in resources management; support for ground-breaking arts projects and organisations.’
