Nation-Building Starts with Nourishment. Help Us End the Food Crisis for Good.

We’re ending the food crisis in First Nations communities by rebuilding a strong, community-led food economy — grounded in culture, dignity and belonging.

Building a Future Where First Nations Communities Thrive

We believe in a world where the vast majority of First Nations people are Culturally Strong, Commercially Sustainable and Creatively Significant.

Over the past 7 years, we have been working to address food insecurity, empower communities through education and skills development, and preserve the rich cultural heritage of First Nations people through sustainable, community-led initiatives.

Our Vision

We Dream of a day when our Mob live long, healthy lives, filled with joy and a hope for the future.

Our Initiatives

We are committed to empowering First Nations communities through impactful initiatives that drive meaningful change. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

Emergency Food Relief at Scale

We deliver large-scale food relief through our 10 distribution centres, ensuring First Nations communities have consistent access to nutritious meals. With over 700,000 meals distributed to date, we are addressing food insecurity head-on.

Cooking and Nutrition Classes

Our free cooking classes enhance nutrition knowledge and promote healthier eating habits. These classes integrate cultural elements, kitchen safety training, and shared meal experiences to strengthen connections to heritage while fostering life skills.

Cultural Youth Camps

These immersive camps celebrate Indigenous traditions, teach cultural practices, and inspire the next generation to embrace their identity while building resilience and leadership skills.

Social Enterprise Development

We have a suite of social enterprises that we keeping under wraps while we been in the lab for the past 2 years. These initiatives will provide training, employment, and a platform to showcase Indigenous talent and creativity.

Impact Stories

Hear from those whose lives have been transformed by our programs and initiatives.

The Indigenous Futures Foundation has played and continues to play a vital role in empowering our young people to step up as leaders in their own communities. Through Youth Advisory Group and leadership camps, we’ve seen local youth gain confidence, voice their ideas, and take real action on issues that matter. Their support is building a generation of capable Indigenous leaders who are shaping a better future for our region.

The team at Indigenous Futures Foundation has been a blessing to our clients. Their fortnightly food deliveries make a real difference for families doing it tough — especially our clients who are struggling with food insecurity. It’s more than just groceries; it’s care, respect, and consistency. We’re grateful for the partnership and the way they walk alongside our Mob.
