Grant dollars meet culture on Country.
Saltwater sits between funding and cultural coastal programs run by Aboriginal communities — so Elders get paid to share culture, and schools and organisers can book immersion that's already funded.
One platform, from grant to Country
Saltwater removes the paperwork between money and meaning — three simple steps that keep culture funded and communities in control.
Aggregate the grants
Every fund that pays for culture on Country — federal, state and council — gathered in one searchable place, from the Indigenous Tourism Fund to local community grants.
List & discover programs
Communities and Elders publish reef tours, bush tucker days, ceremonies and performances. Schools and organisers browse and book cultural immersion that's ready to fund.
Fund the exchange
Match a booking to a grant, request funding, and pay securely. Saltwater keeps the money flowing between grant dollars and the communities doing the work.

Whether you hold the knowledge or hold the funding, Saltwater gives you a clear way to connect.
