Mission

Charitable Fund’s vision is to enhance the lives of Indigenous Australians, to improve health, to put an end to poverty and to defeat hardship. Our charity works to connect Australia’s most vulnerable individuals to important resources and to move people away from suffering in to positive, constructive, and meaningful lifestyles and livelihoods. The Charitable Fund was established, with compassion and the objective of giving the Yolngu people of East Arnhem Land an opportunity to apply for assistance for education and training, business skill development, funerals, and cultural ceremonies.
