The Karrkad Kanjdji Trust (KKT) is a philanthropic trust that was established in 2010 by Traditional Owners of the Warddeken and Djelk Indigenous Protected Areas, to support their vision for healthy Country.
As custodians of much of West and Central Arnhem Land—one of the largest Indigenous estates in Australia—they innovatively recognised the potential strength and increased freedom and flexibility of alternative funding sources.
Today, KKT is a shared resource to eight First Nations community-controlled organisations in Arnhem Land. Their work spans 50,000 square kilometres of land and sea Country and encompasses traditional land management; on-Country employment; carbon abatement; bi-cultural education and the preservation of Indigenous languages. This breadth of focus reflects a more holistic approach to conservation, wherein each part strengthens the whole.
Ultimately, KKT’s role is to connect each partner organisation with the strength of philanthropy, further resourcing their vital efforts to care for Country, culture and community.
