The Community Broadcasting Foundation (CBF) and The Healing Foundation have partnered to honour and preserve the stories of Stolen Generations survivors and descendants through community broadcasting platforms.

The Stolen Generations Truth Telling grants offer a $200k funding pool for these collaborations between survivors, descendants and community broadcasters.

Shannan Dodson, CEO of The Healing Foundation, said:

“As we approach the 30th anniversary of the Bringing them Home report, preserving the stories of Stolen Generations survivors and descendants is more important than ever.

“Survivors have told us how important it is to share their stories — for their own healing, and for their families and communities. Our From Sorry to Action national plan highlights the need for truth-telling and education so all Australians understand the ongoing impact of forced removal. These grants are a unique opportunity for community broadcasters to help preserve these stories for future generations.”

Jo Curtin, CEO of the CBF, added:

“Community broadcasting is at the heart of communities across the country, especially First Nations broadcasters. The Stolen Generations Truth Telling grants are an opportunity for community broadcasters to listen to, support and amplify survivors and descendants of the Stolen Generations.”

Applications are open for the Stolen Generations Truth Telling grants. Interested First Nations storytellers are encouraged to get started on collaborations with their local community broadcaster now.

Applications close September 1, 2026 at 2pm AEST. More information is available at: https://cbf.org.au/stolen-generations-truth-telling-grants/
