Our Partners
Partnering with us offers a unique opportunity to contribute to an Indigenous-led philanthropic model which is built ‘For Community, by Community’.
Our work is supported by philanthropic organisations and strategic partners:
About the Fay Fuller Foundation
The Fay Fuller Foundation is a private philanthropic organisation in South Australia. The focus of our giving is to drive change around impactful, purposeful, and people-centred philanthropic funding. We believe that Communities are the experts in their own lives and centre Community in everything we do.
About the Wyatt Trust
The Wyatt Trust is working to achieve a South Australia free from poverty. We challenge the beliefs that perpetuate inequality because we believe every South Australian deserves a life free from poverty. We help create opportunities that provide targeted support to South Australians, and over time, long-term systemic change.
About the Paul Ramsay Foundation
PRF works for a future where people and places have what they need to thrive. With organisations and communities, we invest in, build and influence the conditions needed to stop disadvantage in Australia.
About the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal
FRRR – (phonetically: F-triple-R) – is the only national foundation specifically focused on ensuring the social and economic strength of Australia’s remote, rural and regional communities. FRRR’s unique model of support is more than money – it connects common purposes and investment from government, business and philanthropy with the genuine needs of rural people and places. Since FRRR’s start in 2000, it has delivered more than $200 million to more than 15,000 projects.
About Foundation South Australia
By combining the deep cultural knowledge and lived experience of the Spinifex Foundation SA members and network with the established community foundation connections of Foundation SA, we are building a partnership that will foster long-term, sustainable impact rooted in mutual respect. Together, we will create a model of trust-based philanthropy that uplifts Indigenous voices, supports self-determined initiatives, and strengthens Community wellbeing for generations to come.
Become a strategic partner
Spinifex Foundation SA partners with South Australian Aboriginal-controlled community groups and organisations who align with our core mission.
Our purpose is to be a philanthropic leader and catalyst for positive change, we are driven by the principles of independence, autonomy, and the profound wisdom embedded in First Nations Communities and culture. Our shared vision is a dynamic future where Aboriginal South Australians are prosperous in all aspects of life, living healthier, longer, and stronger with equal opportunity, while actively preserving cultural identity and community individuality for generations to come.
Partnering with us offers a unique opportunity to contribute to an Indigenous-led philanthropic model built ‘For Community, By Community’. This means collaboratively supporting a dynamic framework where Community voices directly shape funding priorities and decisions.
We actively engage with Communities and dynamically prioritise local expertise and organisations, ensuring our collective efforts truly reflect Community priorities and needs, especially in health and wellbeing.
Operating with transparency and accountability, we adaptively blend First Nations cultural knowledge with robust governance principles to create a unique and respectful framework. We seek collaborative alliances that dynamically amplify positive impact and are deeply committed to developing, building, and transferring capability within Communities.
If your group or organisation shares our commitment to dynamically empowering Aboriginal Communities, supporting self-determination, and driving meaningful, community-led change in South Australia, we collaboratively encourage you to connect with us to explore partnership opportunities.
