At First Nations Foundation, we firmly believe in the economic prosperity and financial autonomy of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Our story intertwines with pivotal moments in Australia's history, highlighting our collective path towards economic reconciliation and empowerment for First Nations communities. Now, we hope to bring together our partners and community members to honour the past, celebrate the present, and envision a future where every First Nations person can financially thrive.

First Nations Foundation deeply appreciates your support in helping us reach our vision of achieving economic reconciliation for First Nations people.

We look forward to seeing you at the gala!
