In the traditional language of the Wiradjuri people, the word ‘Yibirmarra’ means ‘to paint something. Here at the Yibirmarra Foundation, we take actions to paint a brighter future for Australian First Nations Communities by promoting the same level of wellbeing and life opportunities as that of the non-First Nation Australians. Our foundation exists to provide benevolent relief to First Nations peoples experiencing poverty, homelessness, violence or disadvantage. We do this through: Placemaking – building sustainable housing and community hubs in Indigenous communities. Mentoring – mentoring and development of Indigenous people in the arts Talent nurturing – we educate, train and nurture talent with a focus on developing careers in the construction and property painting industry Crisis support – supporting communities in crisis with food packages.
