Community First Development Limited

Support First Nations-Led Change in Australia 

Community First Development is a First Nations-led not-for-profit organization and registered charity based in Australia. For 25 years, we’ve partnered with First Nations communities to create lasting, community-driven change. We support self-determined goals that address systemic disadvantage, guided by cultural governance, strength-based approaches, and the principles of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 

Our Impact So Far: 

• 4,000+ registered projects 
• 1,000+ community partners with completed initiatives 
• 3,000+ skilled pro bono volunteers
• 90,000+ supporters across Australia and internationally 

Why It Matters: 

Through our proven model of collaboration, First Nations communities invite us to support projects they design, manage, and implement. These initiatives build new skills, improve health and education, create safer homes and communities, protect the natural environment, and preserve culture and language. 

What’s Next: 

We’re focused on strengthening our long-term sustainability while continuing to support community-led initiatives that foster social, economic, and cultural development. Your donation will help us: 

• Increase long-term capacity 
• Amplify community voices 
• Invest in culturally safe systems 
• Reduce our waitlist for collaboration
