Tips for Applicants

The Ngaanyatjarra Charitable Trust appears to make discretionary payments to identified beneficiaries rather than operating open grant programs. Therefore, traditional grant applications are unlikely to be accepted. Engagement would likely occur directly with the Trustee or through the broader Ngaanyatjarra Council Group.

Giving Philosophy

The Trust aims to foster self-determination among Yarnangu on the Ngaanyatjarra Lands, enabling them to manage their own affairs and thrive through economic projects and investments. Its core philosophy is to support Yarnangu in remaining strong on Country, fostering healthy families and ensuring meaningful lives within a culture-rich environment.
