Paul Ramsay Foundation (PRF) is opening new opportunities for First Nations communities in Tasmania, the Northern Territory, the Torres Strait, regional and remote Queensland, and regional and remote South Australia as part of its First Nations Targeted Grant Round.

The grants, valued up to $500,000 each, are designed to support regional and remote First Nations peoples’ and communities’ self-determination, empowering First Nations-led organisations to strengthen their impact.

The geographic areas have been carefully selected to increase access to philanthropy for First Nations-led organisations which might not have previously received or applied for PRF funding.

Since 2016, PRF has provided $220 million to organisations working to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, two thirds of which has been awarded to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) and other First Nations-led organisations, in which majority of their Board and leadership team members identify as First Nations Australians.

Expressions of Interest (EOI) for these grants open 12 March and close at 5:00 PM (AEST) on April 7, 2025.
