Giving Philosophy
AHCWA's giving philosophy is deeply rooted in Aboriginal self-determination and community control, aiming to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities for Aboriginal people in WA. They support culturally appropriate, comprehensive primary health care delivered by and for Aboriginal communities, believing in empowering local ACCHOs to lead and implement health solutions.
Tips for Applicants
As a peak body primarily distributing program funding to its member Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs), potential applicants should ensure they are an accredited ACCHO in Western Australia. Engagement with AHCWA's specific programs and initiatives is key, rather than applying for open-call grants in the traditional philanthropic sense.
