Our values


The Fred Hollows Foundation

To keep us true to the spirit of the organisation, we have a set of values that everyone at The Foundation embraces.

Integrity: we stand up for what’s right

  • Work alongside the poorest and most marginalised
  • Do what we say we will do
  • Hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards

Empowerment: we make a difference

  • Enable people to take action themselves
  • Listen, learn and share information
  • Strengthen capacity for the long-term

Collaboration: we are stronger together

  • Deeply respect the strengths of those we work with
  • Partner with others to achieve more
  • Embrace diversity and have fun

Action: we focus on results

  • Seek smarter ways to have greater impact
  • Take bold, considered risks to achieve our vision faster
  • Lead in advocacy, innovation and research

I am empowered by the available space
and resources that enable credible
engagement with our implementing partners.
