As we reflect during National Reconciliation Week, supporting First Nations-led programs is a powerful way to contribute to stronger, more empowered communities nationwide.

At First Nations Foundation, we deliver culturally safe financial wellbeing programs that support Mob through education, advocacy and community connection - helping build brighter futures for generations to come.

Every contribution helps us continue this important work and expand our impact across the country.

Make a meaningful impact this EOFY and support reconciliation through action.

$4.15 million returned to Mob. That's not just a number - that's futures secured, families supported, and wealth kept where it belongs.

FNF's Financial Wellness Outreach program travelled across North East Queensland, bringing consumer advocates, super funds, government services and financial counsellors directly into First Nations communities face-to-face, in a culturally safe space.

A huge thank you to all partners involved.

Last week, our team had the privilege of delivering two Financial Fitness sessions for First Nations entrepreneurs, business owners and business enthusiasts across Lutruwita (Tasmania).

Travelling from north to south, we were proud to be part of Dilin Duwa’s regional series - supporting Mob with practical tools to strengthen financial literacy and confidence in business.

One participant shared that the session was the highlight of the program:

“This was the first time I’ve really had the chance to learn about money in this way. It helped me understand that for my business finances to do well, I first need my own finances to do well.”

A big thank you to the Dilin Duwa Mob for creating such an impactful program, and to Palawa Business Hub for welcoming us and connecting us with community.
