Aspiring Australian Olympian Fundraising

A new pathway for First Nations athletes

The Indigenous Athlete Scholarship is the first of many purpose-led initiatives within the Community Foundation. It creates a reliable stream of support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander athletes striving for Olympic success.

A growing foundation for future Olympians

Our vision goes beyond one scholarship. The Community Foundation will continue to launch new initiatives that help underrepresented athletes access support, thrive in elite sport, and bring their stories to the world stage.
