Tips for Applicants
Approaches should demonstrate direct benefit to the Anindilyakwa people and Indigenous communities in the NT. Given the trust's connection to mining on Traditional Land, applications supporting community welfare, capacity building and cultural programs in the Groote Eylandt/Arnhem Land region may be well-received.

The trust manages royalties from mining operations on Traditional Indigenous Land, distributing funds to support social welfare, community development and improve outcomes for Aboriginal peoples in the Groote Eylandt region. Giving is likely directed toward community-identified priorities and initiatives that benefit the Traditional Owner community.
