Concentration RiskAbout
The Clontarf Foundation operates education programs specifically for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men across Australia.

Giving Philosophy
The Foundation uses a relationship-based approach combining supportive mentorship, a welcoming environment, and diverse activities (primarily sport) to build self-esteem and keep Indigenous young men engaged in education. They focus on long-term behavioral change through discipline, life skills development, and employment pathways rather than direct financial grants. Programs are embedded within schools through 'academies' staffed by trained directors and officers.
Tips for Applicants
This is not a grantmaking foundation - it operates direct service programs. Schools or education departments interested in establishing a Clontarf Academy should approach through their partnerships team. Individuals cannot apply for funding but Indigenous young men can participate through their school. Corporate partners and philanthropists support the Foundation's operations rather than applying for grants.
