The VanDyson Marine Fund is the family’s philanthropic structure that supports businesses, organisations, charities, NGOs, or academic institutions (grantees) working on sustainable marine projects in Australia and the Pacific Islands.

The mission of the VanDyson Marine Fund is to contribute towards a sustainable marine environment in Australia and the Pacific Islands. We do this by supporting three programs: Marine Grants Program; Scientific Research and Expedition Program; and Private Land or Marine License Purchases that promote biodiversity. These programs need to generate measurable positive social, environmental, and economic benefits. We will use our funds and expeditions as a catalyst to raise the profile of the projects we support and where possible, we will work with partners to leverage additional support and funding.
