About Greenstone Group and Kristi Mansfield

Kristi Mansfield established Greenstone Group in 2005 with a vision to affect social change by growing giving in Australia. Since then, Greenstone Group has developed, funded and led a number of progressive philanthropic and social change initiatives.

In February 2010, Greenstone Group initiated, developed and funded the Women Mobilising Millions campaign designed to drive new investment from high net worth women to women and girls in Australia. This was a major marketing campaign in the philanthropic sector. The campaign engaged more than 500 women of wealth and will connect them with projects to benefit women and girls through the Australian Women Donors Network chaired by Eve Mahlab.

In 2009, Kristi directed the Asia Pacific Breakthrough Summit, an initiative designed to generate new investment behind Millennium Development Goals 3 & 5 from non government organisations, faith communities, women's agencies, philanthropy, business and government. The original target for investment was $20million. The final result was $1.2 billion of commitments to programs and initiatives for women and girls in Australia and Asia Pacific.

Greenstone Group launched the Social Investment Guide in 2008 and is currently working on the development of an Indigenous Philanthropy and Social Investment Guide, which is funded by the Rio Tinto Aboriginal Fund and The Christensen Fund.

In the last four years, Kristi has connected private philanthropists and foundations with non profit organisations resulting in more than $1.7 million across a number of issue areas including women and girls, aged care, health and Indigenous affairs.
Kristi is passionate about supporting the philanthropic sector in Australia through the development of new initiatives, grant making strategies, marketing campaigns and research. She works with private philanthropists and progressive foundations in Sydney, Melbourne and the US. Current and past clients include the Rio Tinto Aboriginal Fund, the Australian Women Donors Network, The Christensen Fund, Wangal Environment Fund, Queen Victoria Women's Trust, International Women's Development Agency, Philanthropy Australia, the SMILE Foundation, Foundation for Young Australians, HOME Hospice, Oxfam Australia, McGrath Foundation, SharingStories, Arthritis Australia, a number of private donors and Footprints.org, a web based foundation supporting international philanthropy.

Prior to founding Greenstone Group, Kristi worked as international marketing director for software companies. She was recognized as a Telstra Young Business Woman of the Year finalist for her work in 2003. She has a Graduate Diploma in Philanthropy & Social Investment from Swinburne University in Melbourne. She sits on the board of the Australian Women Donors Network and Footprints.org.
