Sponsors and partners

There has never been a more important time to invest in the strength, solutions, leadership and collaboration of First Nations advocates.

That’s why we’re hosting Common Threads and we’d love to discuss ways you can support us to make it happen!


Common Threads will bring together 200 First Nations campaigners, organisers and advocates to build the power of First Nations-led campaigns and movements for justice and self determination.

Organising this event is a collective effort and we’re looking for like-minded organisations and sponsors to provide the financial support needed to deliver the summit.

All funds raised will go towards covering the costs of the event (venue, catering, logistics and staffing) as well as travel and accommodation scholarships, particularly for participants travelling from remote and regional communities.


To learn more about supporting the summit and discuss opportunities to support this work, please contact Cathy Kirwan, Philanthropy Director at Australian Progress on cathy@australianprogress.org.au.

Or reach out to Millie Telford on amelia@australianprogress.org.au if you are a First Nations-led team or organisation and want to collaborate.
