The Mat Goggin Foundation (MGF) Entrepreneurship Award aims to encourage Tasmanian youth in the 14-19 age group into community engagement through demonstrated business or social entrepreneurial initiative. The Award will recognise young Tasmanians making a new beginning for themselves and/or others through demonstrated entrepreneurial initiative. The MGF believe that there are many youth motivated by a desire to improve and transform social, environmental, educational and economic conditions to help themselves and others.
Young entrepreneurs have ambition and a lack of acceptance of the status quo or accepting the world "as it is". In respecting tradition but seeking the truth, young entrepreneurs are driven by a desire to improve social and economic conditions.
