Tips for Applicants

Align proposals with Waminda's focus on culturally safe, Aboriginal-led services in health, wellbeing, family support, and social enterprise. Demonstrate understanding of and respect for Aboriginal self-determination and how your initiative strengthens rather than imposes solutions on South Coast Aboriginal communities.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation prioritises culturally safe, strength-based care that centres Aboriginal self-determination and challenges colonial narratives. It values holistic wellbeing that integrates traditional Indigenous knowledge with contemporary health and social services, and emphasises family preservation, community control, and economic empowerment through social enterprise.
