Indigenous Literacy Foundation
Gift a culturally relevant book for a child in a remote community
Support this Good Cause
The Issue
In remote Communities across Australia access to books can be difficult as there are often no libraries and bookstores. Access to reading material is extremely limited and this impacts the opportunities for children to engage in reading. Research shows that bilingual books and education help to accelerate reading and support young people to thrive. Learning to read in your First Language accelerates education and is every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child’s right. The Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) is Community-led, responding to requests from remote Communities for culturally relevant books, including early learning board books, resources, and programs to support Communities to create and publish their stories in languages of their choice. The ILF has gifted over 1 million books to remote Communities through the Book Supply program, implemented its early literacy program Book Buzz into 116 remote playgroups and published 235 titles reflecting up to 45 Indigenous languages.
The Good
$10 will put a culturally relevant book into the hands of a child in a remote community
About Indigenous Literacy Foundation
Established in 2010, the ILF’s purpose is to make a difference to the lives of Indigenous families living in remote communities by not only gifting thousands of new, culturally appropriate books, focussing on early literacy and first language, but also running programs to inspire the communities to tell and publish their own stories, in the languages they choose.
The ILF has 3 core programs
Book Supply
Provides new, culturally relevant books to remote communities. In 2025, nearly 148,300 books were delivered to 523 remote Communities.
Book Buzz
Empowers families to feel confident to read and share books together with their babies and toddlers, in the languages they speak at home. This story time program encourages the development of important pre-literacy skills and an early love of reading. In 2025 ILF worked with remote 116 playgroups.
Community Publishing Projects
Works with communities to create and publish stories in illustrated books, animations and audio, in the languages spoken within the community. It’s about creating books, by the community for the community in the languages they choose the books to be in. In 2025 ILF published 19 books featuring 14 languages. Four of these are languages we've not published before: Dhurga, Wakka Wakka, Wik Mungkan and Wirangu.
