Pride Foundation Australia Exists Because...
What do we do?
Despite achieving marriage equality in 2017, many Australian LGBTQIA+ communities still face significant disadvantages and discrimination.
Pride Foundation Australia is a national philanthropic foundation run by volunteers, specifically focused on addressing lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, gender diverse, queer, intersex, asexual and other LGBTQIA+ community issues in Australia through targeted funding around dedicated research, training development and community support.
Pride Foundation Australia pays respect to the traditional custodians of the land and sea on which we live, work and play , we pay our respects to Elders past and present, acknowledging that sovereignty was never ceded.
Pride Foundation Australia commits through the resources we have available to us, to work with, for, and alongside Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and South Sea Islander LGBTIQ+ Sistergirl and Brotherboy peoples and communities to embed a self-determined future.
We further commit the contribution of a significant proportion of grant funding received to Aboriginal Torres Strait South Sea Islander LGBTIQ+ Sistergirl and Brotherboy led initiatives to improve social outcomes.
Australia was, and always will be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land.
