THE DIFFERENCE

• We start from the premise that we know our mobs the best

• Our relationships with communities are already in place

• We come to grant-making from an Indigenous world view

• We can take you on a learning journey with us

• We can translate conventional philanthropic practice into Indigenous contexts on your behalf

• We can help you understand the local protocols that must be worked through before investing successfully

• We understand that the most important priorities for our communities are cultural identity and connection

• We measure our success in terms of how projects achieve community identified and determined outcomes
