The First Nations Philanthropic Funders Working Group (FNPFWG) was established in 2021 to support the creation of a First Nations-Led funding model to direct philanthropic resources to support the health and wellbeing of the First Nations community of South Australia. The FNPFWG Group consists of ACCHO, and Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) representatives and community members and is currently facilitating an engagement process with local communities to inform the design of the fund and to identify relevant health needs, priorities, and opportunities.

In many ways, we’re creating a blue-print through this partnership – we’re starting right on the ground, in community with the people who need support during the pandemic, and working with them to figure out what they need.
