From food insecurity to food sovereignty - in our lifetime.

We’re moving from food insecurity to food sovereignty by investing locally, backing community-led enterprise and infrastructure, and reforming procurement and policy to put decision-making back in community hands.

A future that’s culturally strong, commercially sustainable & creatively significant

We believe in a world where the vast majority of First Nations people are culturally strong, commercially sustainable and creatively significant. Over the past seven years, we’ve worked alongside communities to strengthen food sovereignty by building local control through education and training, community-led enterprise and infrastructure and initiatives that grow culture and the local economy.

What We Are Working Towards

We Dream of a day when our Mob live long, healthy lives, filled with joy and a hope for the future.

Who We Are

What We Do

Who We Serve

Our Initiatives

Food insecurity isn’t a lack of food. It’s a badly designed system. Our initiatives work to redesign it by investing locally, challenge policy and shift procurement toward community outcomes.

Food Relief for Today, While We Build for Tomorrow

We know food relief isn’t the end goal. It’s the bridge. We meet urgent need today while building the systems that make it unnecessary tomorrow.

Cooking, Nutrition & Career Pathways

Our cooking and nutrition classes do more than teach recipes. They shift habits. We build nutrition confidence through culture, kitchen safety, and shared meals that strengthen families, grow life skills and open pathways into work.

Purchasing Power for Good

Good intentions don’t scale. Procurement does. We help turn routine buying decisions into long term community benefit by backing Indigenous enterprise and local infrastructure. When purchasing power is aimed well, change becomes practical, repeatable, and measurable.

Social Enterprise Development

We haven’t been idle. We’ve been prototyping. Two years in the lab, developing social enterprises that deliver training, employment, and a platform for Indigenous brilliance. We can’t wait to be sharing it with you soon – Yay!🥳

Impact Stories

Indigenous Futures Foundation is building real youth leadership in our community. We’ve seen young people grow in confidence, find their voice, and take action through their Youth Advisory Group and leadership work. We’re also only at the start of consultations around a potential future food hub, and I respect the careful way Indigenous Futures is approaching this. Planning for sustainability, community leadership, and long-term food sovereignty.

Indigenous Futures Foundation has made a meaningful difference for our clients through consistent fortnightly food deliveries and culturally grounded cooking classes. Together, this support helps families experiencing food insecurity in the immediate term while strengthening confidence, skills, and wellbeing over time. We value the partnership and the respectful way the team supports our Mob.
