Every gift helps healing

Your donation helps deliver trauma-aware, culturally strong healing programs.

Why your support matters

The trauma and grief inflicted on Stolen Generations survivors has caused deep and often lifelong impacts.

Survivors face poorer health, economic and social outcomes than other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of a similar age.
 
Most survivors are now aged 50 or above and eligible for aged care; many are elderly and in pain but unable to afford the treatment they need.  

Survivors can often avoid accessing important services as they fear this will trigger childhood trauma. 

Your gift will help support
•    Stolen Generations survivors, their families and descendants
•    Survivor-led and community-led healing initiatives
•    Programs that reconnect survivors to culture, identity, and strength
•    Advocacy for truth-telling and justice for survivors.

Philanthropy and Partnerships

At The Healing Foundation, we are working every day with Stolen Generations survivors and organisations to address the ongoing impacts of trauma — and we know that strong partnerships can help create real, lasting change. We welcome philanthropic partners to join us in creating survivor and community-led healing initiatives that improve health and rebuild family and community connections. Our work is grounded in evidence, shaped by lived experience, and focused on measurable outcomes.

Why partner with The Healing Foundation?


Trusted track record

We have strong experience supporting healing programs led by Stolen Generations survivors and cultural knowledge holders.

Community-led impact

All programs are led by and designed in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.

Evidence-based approach

We combine cultural knowledge with rigorous research and evaluation to ensure programs are meaningful and measurable.

Systems change

We work directly with Stolen Generations organisations, governments, and service providers to ensure justice for survivors is addressed across all levels of the aged care, redress, education and health sectors.

What your partnership can enable

Cultural and community healing projects that connect young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples — our future leaders — with Elders and survivors:

  • Tailored support for Stolen Generations survivors, their families and descendants
  • Education campaigns to build awareness and understanding
  • Indigenous-led research to inform policies.

Let’s build a stronger future together.
