Tips for Applicants

Approach this funder with clearly demonstrated connections to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in South Australia. Emphasise direct community benefit and be mindful of the small grant size—propose modest, achievable projects rather than large-scale initiatives.

Giving Philosophy

The Kokatha Charitable Trust focuses on supporting Indigenous Australians in South Australia, particularly in the areas of education, cultural preservation, and social welfare. Given its small annual giving capacity of $25,000, the trust likely prioritises grassroots community organisations and targeted programs that directly benefit Indigenous beneficiaries in the Port Augusta and broader South Australian region.

Financial Details

Source of Wealth
As a charitable trust, the wealth likely derives from a family or individual settlor, given the trust structure and the specific Indigenous focus which often reflects personal or family philanthropic interests connected to the Kokatha Aboriginal community.
