Bridging the Gap for Indigenous Development
At the Dr Steve Burroughs Foundation, we create a vital link between Australia’s corporate sector and First Peoples, facilitating local development that fosters pride and achievement. Through a dedicated team and meaningful community engagement, we promote real and lasting progress in regional and remote Indigenous communities.
Our Mission
We are committed to working alongside Indigenous communities, industry partners, and philanthropic groups to provide essential support for the advancement of Indigenous Australia. Our culturally aware and consultative approach ensures that every project we undertake is designed to meet the specific needs of the community, delivering positive and sustainable outcomes.
Our Approach
We believe in:
- Community Engagement: We work with communities to build trust and ensure active participation in all projects.
- Corporate Partnerships: Through collaboration with corporate partners, we promote Indigenous advancement in line with their Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs).
- Sustainable Solutions: Every project is designed to offer long-term benefits, including on-the-job training and skill development.
- Volunteer-Driven Impact: 100% of donations directly benefit regional and remote Indigenous communities, with no paid employees and a dedicated team of volunteers.
How We Make a Difference
The Foundation understands the unique barriers faced by Indigenous Australians and works with communities to overcome them. Our team approaches each project with:
- Consultative Problem-Solving: We work closely with communities to identify challenges and co-create solutions that lead to success.
- Cultural Awareness: We prioritise cultural understanding to ensure that our efforts are respectful and meaningful.
- Innovation: By engaging industry and leveraging new technologies, we seek innovative ways to improve lives in remote locations.
- Commitment to Excellence: Our work is supported by skilled volunteers and passionate board members, including three experienced Aboriginal leaders.
Why Your Support Matters
We rely entirely on the generosity of donors, corporate sponsors, and volunteers to continue our work. The cost of visiting and supporting remote communities is high, but with your help, we can provide life-changing support to those in need. Your support helps us deliver:
- On-the-job training for Indigenous individuals.
- Sustainable projects that promote self-reliance.
- Essential goods and services for remote communities.
