OUR WORK
We partner with Indigenous-led entities to support their cultural, environmental, economic and social goals. We align our strategic focus areas with our partners’ themes - Healthy Country and Strong Communities.
Our role is vital in empowering Aboriginal entities by providing financial support and resources for their projects and initiatives.
By prioritizing community-driven goals, the foundation funds a variety of programs that enhance cultural heritage, education, health, and economic development within Aboriginal communities that are connected to Sandalwood lands in WA.
Through strategic partnerships and collaborative efforts, the foundation aims to uplift Indigenous voices, promote self-determination, and foster sustainable growth, ensuring that Aboriginal communities on sandalwood lands thrive.
HEALTHY COUNTRY

Our Vision 2030 is to reduce biodiversity loss on sandalwood ecosystems protected by Traditional Owners and their Ranger Groups.
