Our Partners

“We are a white foundation, so we are always learning, which means we make mistakes. First Nations’ people we walk alongside are so giving with their time, knowledge, trust and patience. We are building genuine relationships, which doesn’t happen overnight.”

Gemma Salteri, CAGES Foundation

CAGES Foundation is privileged to support First Nations’ communities to continue to their important work.
Every community is different and Aboriginal controlled organisations have the expertise, experience and solutions to drive systemic change. They direct us on how and where CAGES Foundation fits in achieving their goals.
We are committed to funding Aboriginal controlled organisations to be empowered and resourced to continue their incredible work.
We are thankful to the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that have guided us, and continue to guide us.

A full list of our partners can be found in our current Annual Report on our Resources page.
