Mutitjulu Foundation – Strategic Overview

The Mutitjulu Foundation Charitable Trust was established to address disadvantage in Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjata (NPY) communities, in vitally important areas such as health, education and economic development.

The Foundation, which is a charitable trust, and the ILC, as the corporate trustee, raise money to fund projects, with a particular focus on supporting the Mutitjulu, Docker River and Imanpa communities which neighbour Ayers Rock Resort. Past projects have included the construction of a respite centre for Elders in the Mutitjulu community and development of the Mutitjulu Recreation Centre for community youth.

The Foundation is chaired by Mr John Morse AM, with ILC Directors Dr Dawn Casey and Ms Olga Havnen also serving on the Foundation board.

The Mutitjulu Foundation receives donations from guests, staff, corporate businesses and the general public. ILC subsidiary Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia matches guest donations dollar-for-dollar, up to $200,000 each year. To date, the Foundation has generated more than $1m over its life to fund projects.
