See how you can support the trust

We acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across this vast continent and their enduring commitment to caring for land, water and sky. We pay our respects to ancestors who came before, and Elders guiding the way today.

For Country,
culture
and community
The Karrkad Kanjdji Trust ("gada-gut guny-jee") (KKT) is a philanthropic trust that was established by Traditional Owners of the Warddeken and Djelk Indigenous Protected Areas in 2010, to support their vision for healthy Country.

As custodians of much of West and Central Arnhem Land—one of the largest Indigenous estates in Australia—they innovatively recognised the potential strength and increased freedom and flexibility of alternative funding sources.

For thriving native ecosystems, protected by Indigenous rangers

Using fire to mitigate climate change, practice culture, and conserve habitat

For strong Indigenous women, equitably engaged in caring for Country

Country rich in traditional ecological knowledge, languages, art and cultural practices

For future generations connected to their Country with access to education 'both ways'

For Traditional Owners equipped to live and work on their ancestral lands

Our
partners

Today, KKT is a shared resource to eight First Nations community-controlled organisations in Arnhem Land. Their work spans 50,000 square kilometres of land and sea Country and encompasses traditional land management; on-Country employment; carbon abatement; bi-cultural education and the preservation of Indigenous languages.

This breadth of focus reflects a more holistic approach to conservation, wherein each part strengthens the whole. Ultimately, KKT’s role is to connect each partner organisation with the strength of philanthropy, further resourcing their vital efforts to care for Country, culture and community.
