Funding Connect Consulting was founded with one purpose — to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations have the expert support they need to access funding and deliver programs that truly serve their communities.

Our team brings together deep experience in grant writing, program design, stakeholder engagement and evaluation — all grounded in genuine respect for First Nations peoples and their ways of working.
