The Walkatjara Trust
Low
Annual Giving
$500K
Grant Range
$10K – $5.0M
Tips for Applicants
As this is an Indigenous community-controlled organisation focused on Anangu culture at Uluru, approach would need to demonstrate direct benefit to the Mutitjulu community and alignment with cultural preservation goals. Direct engagement with the art centre and community may be more appropriate than formal grant applications given its dual art centre/charity structure.
Giving Philosophy
The trust supports the preservation and transmission of Anangu culture and traditional knowledge through the arts, helping keep Indigenous culture strong for future generations while supporting social welfare of the local community at Uluru.
