The Yothu Yindi Foundation was established in 1990 to promote Yolngu cultural development with community leaders and persons of authority from five regional clan groups: Gumatj; Rirratjingu; Djapu; Galpu; Wangurri. The mission of the YYF is for Yolngu and other Indigenous Australians to have the same level of well-being and life opportunities as non-Indigenous Australians. The Foundation is a not-for-profit charitable public benevolent institution, with an all Yolngu Board of Directors, and offices in northeast Arnhem Land and Darwin. All revenues go toward the infrastructure and delivery of education, cultural, health, arts, advocacy and economic programs. The Foundation supports a school, the Garma Institute and stages the annual Garma Festival.

The Yugambeh language people are the traditional custodians of the land located in south-east Queensland and north-east New South Wales, whose ancestors all spoke one or more dialects of the Yugambeh language. We work with and bring the community together through many initiatives centred around cultural and educational exchange, so that future generations have the opportunity to embrace our language, hear our stories and truly connect with their Indigenous legacy as a relevant part of their today and tomorrow.
