Earlier this week Aarnja Ltd's Special Project Lead, Kelly Francis attended the Community Foundation Australia's 2026 Annual Conference in Naarm to network, share and learn more about the great work other Community Funds and Giving Circles are doing within the sector. Kelly joined a panel discussion to share her insights and lived experience as a young leader and what needs to be done to successfully invest in young people.

Kelly also got to connect with other representatives from both the National Indigenous Led Fund Network and the WA Community Fund Network, which Aarnja is proudly a member of both.

The call to action across Philanthropy this year is 'Meet the Moment' and Aarnja Ltd is excited to do this without hesitation in the interest of Kimberley Aboriginal people and communities across our region.

A big thank you to Communities Foundation Australia for extending the invitation to join your event and we 'Always Was and Always Will Be' Ready to Meet the Moment.
