Giving Philosophy

Aurora believes in redefining Indigenous success in education by enabling Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to define success on their own terms rather than imposing external definitions. Their approach combines academic support with cultural connection and wellbeing, recognizing that success is multifaceted. They emphasize generating evidence about what works in Indigenous education through program delivery and evaluation, suggesting a data-informed approach to systemic change.

Tips for Applicants

Aurora operates through direct program delivery rather than traditional grantmaking to other organizations. They work through school partnerships and focus on long-term student engagement. Organizations or schools interested in partnering should demonstrate understanding of Indigenous cultures and commitment to student-defined success measures. Given their emphasis on evidence generation and evaluation, be prepared to participate in research and outcome measurement. They value cultural safety, community engagement, and collaboration across multiple stakeholders including students, families, and schools.
