About

The Indigenous Marathon Foundation is a health promotion charity that delivers running and physical literacy programs to inspire First Nations people across Australia. Founded by Robert de Castella, it aims to address the health gap and promote leadership, education, and social connection through sport, with a focus on long-term community impact.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation values co-design with First Nations participants and communities, using sport as a platform for leadership, education, and health outcomes. It focuses on celebrating achievement, fostering discipline, and creating a ripple effect of positive change to address Closing the Gap targets.

Wealth Source:Established by former World Marathon Champion Robert de Castella, the foundation operates as a health promotion charity with DGR1 status, indicating it receives donations from individuals, corporations, and potentially government grants to fund its programs.

Tips for Applicants

This foundation primarily delivers its own running and physical literacy programs rather than funding external organisations. Grant opportunities, such as the FrontRunners program, are specifically available to its Indigenous Marathon Project Graduates for personal, professional, and community development.
