Our Philosophy
Supporting organisations addressing real-world problems through compassion and innovation.
Empowering organisations to make lasting change
We work by supporting and partnering with organisations already in these crucial spaces, developing deep, lasting relationships that are built on shared values.
At Salaam Foundation, we are passionate about opening opportunities to everyone in society. We do this through our four key pillars of impact:
$500K+ worth of support to the Islamic Community
Over 50 refugee scholarships
Over 60+ Completed Mentorship Programs
5,000+ Care Packs for the Homeless
Education & Refugees
Partnering with some of the most respected educational institutions and organisations in the country, Salaam Foundation aims to break the educational, cultural and employment barriers refugees face when beginning a new life in Australia.
Art & Culture
Art and culture are stepping stones to dialogue and discourse. By supporting programs that present and preserve Islamic culture in Australian society we aim to create more opportunities for conversation, connection, and community.
Civics, Youth & Democracy
Civic engagement and democratic values are core features of the Australian identity. That’s why we’re proud to support initiatives that encourage and inspire young people to help shape Australia’s future.
Helping the Homeless
By creating Australian first initiatives and partnering with not-for-profits and social enterprises such as The Big Issue and Brothers in Need we aim to provide Australians experiencing homelessness the support and opportunities they need.
