Tips for Applicants

Applicants should demonstrate strong connections to Western Australian Indigenous communities, particularly in the Pilbara region if applicable. Emphasise Indigenous leadership, community ownership, and culturally appropriate programs. Given the trust's focus and the significance of the Thalanyji name, prioritise applications that show authentic engagement with the specific communities served.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation supports organisations and initiatives that benefit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, with a particular focus on Western Australian communities. Giving is likely directed toward community-led programs that address Indigenous disadvantage and support self-determination.
