WELCOME

The Aboriginal Benefits Foundation is a charity established in 2004 by a group of committed individuals involved in Indigenous art and culture. The Aboriginal Benefits Foundation Trust is a Public Ancillary Fund registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission.

 

The objectives of the Aboriginal Benefits Foundation are to promote, provide and carry out activities, facilities and projects for the benefit, welfare and well-being of Aboriginal communities throughout Australia and the members of those communities. The Foundation has a particular focus on supporting health and education projects with a connection to Aboriginal art and/or artists, which are undertaken to assist the youth, the aged and those who suffer from infirmity, disability, poverty or other disadvantageous social or economic circumstances.

 

The Foundation has held a number of fundraising events to support Aboriginal programmes in communities throughout Australia that you can read about on our website.
