The largest ever philanthropic gift to the performing arts in Australia will support the future of the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), including its state-of-the-art new home in the heart of Perth.
The $30 million, 25-year partnership between the Minderoo Foundation (founded by the then CEO of Fortescue Metals Group, Dr Andrew Forrest AO and his wife Nicola Forrest AO in 2001) and Edith Cowan University (ECU), WAAPA’s parent body, is one of the largest donations ever received by a West Australian university.
