YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

Help us get land back, raise our children, employ our mob and return to community and Indigenous land care practices.

Why donate to The Returning Indigenous Corporation ?

We have DGR Status, so instead of giving your tax paying money to the government why don’t you donate to our organisation. 

If a donation is over $2 and to a deductible gift recipient (DGR charity), donors can deduct the amount of their donation from their taxable income when they lodge their tax return. Meaning less money in the hands of politicians and more money in the hands of grassroots organisations. 

We strive to be one of the most transparent charities in Australia. We have an all female and Indigenous led board of directors. 

When you donate your hard-earned money to The Returning we work hard to ensure your charitable donation has the biggest impact, with complete transparency.

We use the money to allow Indigenous participants, single mothers and low socio economic people a chance to gain knowledge on health and wellness through an Indigenous cultural lens. 

All of our programs are educational and practical. Connecting people back to country right now and reminding us for our deep relationship to the planet is a key ingredient in solving climate situations 

92% of total expenditure on our development, resilience and humanitarian programs

Who are we?

We are an all female Indigenous run not-for-profit charity creating gatherings, workshops, one day immersions, cultural camps and supporting our communities with mentors, operations, emergency assistance and cultural programs.

Assisting women, children and men back to connection through physical, emotional and spiritual wellness and community engagement is the key to our Charity.

We offer scholarships for all our programs and at some of our programs are only Indigenous full scholarships for the youth.

OUR EVENTS ARE 100% VOLUNTEER RUN
