Applications are open to Aboriginal individuals, groups or organisations in Western Australia; or those who work with Aboriginal people in community, and can demonstrate strong Aboriginal governance and leadership in their application*.

**Organisations cannot apply for funding for projects that are core business or part of regular activity, or operations. For example, a ranger organisation cannot apply for funding for cultural site management.
