Indigenous Queenslanders' Foundation
The Indigenous Queenslanders' Foundation (IQF) is a public foundation established to serve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Queenslanders by providing a secure and independent funding source for bursaries and scholarships.
The IQF will fund educational and developmental opportunities for generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people.
The IQF will contribute to turning around the intergenerational legacies of past policies and practices, and help close the gap in educational and employment outcomes between Indigenous and non–Indigenous Queenslanders.
The IQF will receive $32 million capital, consisting of $10.8 million from the former Aborigines Welfare Fund and $21.2 million from the remaining unspent funds from the Indigenous Wages and Savings Reparations Scheme.
Income generated from the fund will be distributed annually under the terms of a Trust Deed, and as recommended to the Public Trustee by a Board of Advisors.
