Giving Philosophy

GO Foundation believes education is the 'game-changer' that creates ripple effects for Indigenous communities. Their approach centers on connecting students to their cultural identity as a source of strength, providing holistic support that addresses both academic and personal development needs. They operate an Aboriginal-led team and emphasize creating spaces where Indigenous youth can explore identity, dream big, and build resilience through partnerships with corporate sponsors, educational institutions, and community organizations.

Wealth Source:The foundation was established by two former professional AFL players: Adam Goodes (considered one of the greatest AFL players, dual Brownlow Medal winner, multiple premierships with Sydney Swans) and Michael O'Loughlin (Sydney Swans star, All-Australian selection). Both built significant wealth through their AFL careers and subsequent commercial activities.

Tips for Applicants

Focus on demonstrating connection to culture and community alongside academic potential. The foundation emphasizes 'strength in culture' so applicants who can articulate how education connects to their Indigenous identity may be viewed favorably. They look for students who show resilience and aspiration rather than purely academic achievement. The application process appears to be needs-based with consideration for first-generation university students and those from communities with limited educational opportunities.
