Aboriginal controlled organisations and community have the skills, knowledge and experience to implement strategies to create these nurturing environments for children. CAGES Foundation invests in these organisations.

First Nation people are the first entrepreneurs and business people in Australia. Colonisation created structures that prevent and exclude Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from wealth creation.

Ways CAGES Foundation might assist include:

• Core operating expenses, including salaries, communications and business development costs.
• Developing internal investment products within Aboriginal controlled non-government organisations.

Grants are made on a rolling basis and are open for enquiry all year. These grants are separate to any financial impact investment that the investment committee of CAGES Foundation may make from the foundation’s corpus.

Application process

There is an open and accessible enquiry process. Grants are issued once a relationship is built and there is deep understanding of what the objectives of an organisation is. Limited grants are available.
