Welcome
to the Spinifex Foundation

An Indigenous-led philanthropic foundation, the Spinifex Foundation was established to address the needs, aspirations, and challenges faced by all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people residing in South Australia.
Amplifying positive change, our philanthropy is led by the very communities it seeks to uplift. Driven by the wisdom embedded in First Nations communities and culture, our foundation represents transformative power.
Our Vision
A future where Aboriginal South Australians are prosperous in all aspects of life, living healthier, longer and stronger with equal opportunity, while preserving cultural identity and community individuality for generations to come.

We acknowledge that we live and work on many lands and acknowledge the traditional custodians of these lands for millennia.

We commit to remembering that the ground beneath our feet is infused with wisdom, stories, and songs that reach beyond our knowing.We are committed to collaboration that furthers self-determination and as we go forward we will continue to listen, learn, and work together for a healing future.

We extend this acknowledgement to all First Nations Peoples and pay our respects to Elders of the past, present and into the future.
