Corporate gifting with purpose: a First Nations gifting guide

A gift says something about the giver. For an organisation, a thoughtful gift from a First Nations business says that your values show up in the everyday choices, not only in the statements. Here is a short guide to gifting with purpose.

What to look for

1
Genuine ownership

Choose a supplier that is genuinely Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander owned and certified by Supply Nation or a body such as Kinaway.

2
Quality and enjoyment

Look for quality your recipients will actually enjoy and a story worth telling.

3
A real give-back

Look for a meaningful give-back so the gift keeps doing good after it is opened.
