Tangentyere Charitable Trust No 2
Tips for Applicants
Given Tangentyere's structure as a community-controlled organisation with direct service delivery, external grant applications are likely limited. Organisations seeking funding should emphasise Indigenous self-determination, cultural safety, and alignment with Tangentyere's existing programs (Family and Kin Care, bilingual education, community safety, youth services). Direct engagement with the organisation to understand current priorities would be essential before applying.
Giving Philosophy
Tangentyere operates on principles of Indigenous self-determination, community control, and holistic wellbeing. The organisation believes Town Campers are the experts in their own lives and best placed to make decisions about their future. Their approach emphasises cultural preservation, empowerment through community governance, and addressing systemic disadvantage through locally-developed solutions. The trust prioritises programs that maintain cultural connections, support family and kinship structures, and increase community autonomy.
