Tips for Applicants

Applicants should align proposals with the foundation's three core focus areas: mental health and wellbeing, First Nations led health initiatives, or practice and collaboration. First Nations organisations and those demonstrating collaborative, prevention-focused, and strength-based approaches will be particularly competitive; monitor their website for Discovery Grant Expressions of Interest and other funding rounds.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation adopts a holistic, strength-based approach to health that prioritises prevention, community capability-building, and self-determination. It values First Nations leadership and control over health solutions, demonstrated through its support of Spinifex Foundation SA as an Indigenous-led fund. The foundation seeks to shift complex social challenges through collaborative efforts and practice development.

Notable Grants

Support for Spinifex Foundation SA, an Indigenous Led Fund established to address the needs, aspirations, and challenges faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in South Australia.
