Lumbu Indigenous Community Foundation (archived) was Australia’s first Indigenous controlled, national, philanthropic foundation, established in 2005.

Lumbu has pioneered an innovative model of community development to create sustainable positive change in Indigenous Australia. Our model blends Indigenous knowledge, private and public sector experience and philanthropic support to build effective community organisations that are driven and controlled by the community. Communities choose to work with Lumbu to develop indigenous-led projects that deliver broad social benefit within Indigenous communities.
