The Mt Burdett Foundation was founded in 2019 by Esperance farmer Chris Reichstein, as an organisation that would invest in initiatives and people to contribute to a vibrant and resilient future for the Esperance region and throughout rural and regional Western Australia. 

​

The Foundation has been set up with two funding arms; one supporting projects specifically benefiting the Esperance area and the second to support human capacity building throughout rural and regional communities in WA.
