indigo foundation is an innovative and independent community development organisation based in Australia. Community led and volunteer based, we look at development differently – we commit ourselves to long term respectful partnerships with local grassroots organisations. All support is provided and monitored and evaluated within a framework of four Guiding Principles: community ownership, sustainability, transparency and equity.

We currently support 18 community partners across eight countries. Our projects are driven by the communities we work with – and focus on empowerment of women and girls, education, health and building the strength of local organisations. We partner with communities to build schools and increase girls’ access to education in rural Afghanistan, empower Dalit women and children in India to access education and training and support women’s food security through a network of cooperative gardens in Indonesia. 

Our approach is grounded in an active research agenda. We work with some of the most marginalised communities around the world and we engage with refugee communities in Australia.

We keep overheads low with a virtual office and a lean staffing model. We work hard to always ensure we provide honest and accurate information on our finances, achievements and challenges. 

Up-to-date details of all our projects are available on our website at www.indigofoundation.org.

Thank you for your generous support!
