Tips for Applicants

Given the foundation's recent establishment (December 2023) and specific focus on First Nations youth hubs, applicants should demonstrate strong cultural safety credentials, community engagement with Elders and local First Nations communities, and evidence-based program design. Emphasise youth-led approaches and align proposals with their stated goal of breaking cycles of disadvantage through the hub model.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation is committed to First Nations youth-led and community-engaged approaches, placing young people at the heart and centre of all programs. It values evidence-based design and research, seeking interventions that address systemic issues at the intersection of education, mental health, child protection and criminal justice. Programs are delivered in culturally safe spaces that empower youth to reclaim their identities and futures.
