$500K
Grant Range
$10K – $5.0M
Tips for Applicants
Given the lack of a public website, potential applicants should research direct contact methods or inquire through community networks, as the Trust may operate on an invitation-only basis or through established relationships within Western Australian Indigenous communities.
Giving Philosophy
The Trust is dedicated to improving the well-being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly in Western Australia, with a strong emphasis on supporting financially disadvantaged and remote communities. Its giving is directed towards holistic development across health, education, cultural preservation, and social welfare, likely with a focus on community-led initiatives.
