Please note that grants over $5,000, or for recurrent funding, will not be considered. If you have any questions please contact the NCCA on (02) 8259 0800 prior to submitting your application.

Martung Upah Appeal

Martung Upah is NCCA's major fundraising appeal. Income received from this appeal allows us to fund the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Development Fund.

Your gift makes an enormous difference to help us support our First Nations people. Without it, we would not be able to provide educational resources to the wider community; engage the Churches in Indigenous issues or fund important community development projects.

The Martung Upah appeal is one way that you can support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples directly.  Our aim is to build a better tomorrow for all First Nations children so that injustice and discrimination will not be part of Australia’s future.

We look forward to our continued partnership and thank you for your support.

Martung Upah is from Western Australia and means ‘partnership'.
