hey!! are there any australian orgs for Aboriginal people i could donate to?
There’s about a million because many are focused on a specific community and there’s a bunch of different issues that they focus on like health services, legal support, domestic violence survivor assistance, inter-generational trauma of the Stolen Generations, LGBTQIA+ specific Indigenous peoples, better education outcomes, etc. A lot are specific to either a state or even a city so there may be some in your community.
Here’s a big link dump for you though:
