Our Foundation

AFN Core Values

All First Nations is an Indigenous voice focused platform โ€” built by community, for community. Our values guide every decision, every award, and every connection we make.

AFN Vision

Our Vision for All First Nations

All First Nations (AFN) is an Indigenous voice focused, Indigenous-owned website.

AFN has been designed to promote the Indigenous community through creating opportunity through recognition via the AFN Awards.

AFN will allow a continuous evolution of support to Indigenous suppliers by building on their current networks where possible, and expanding opportunities for those involved through the AFN Awards.

AFN Awards provides a way for all Indigenous suppliers โ€” including the small, micro, medium and large Indigenous suppliers โ€” to be recognised for their achievements on this online resource.

AFN enables promotion with a growth mindset for the community. The vision for the establishment of AFN Awards will connect and support Indigenous communities together, with an economic, social and sustainable mission.

Our Three Pillars
โ—†
Indigenous-Owned
Built and operated by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, for our communities.
โ—†
Community Selected
All award categories are judged by peers โ€” nominations from the community, decided by the community.
โ—†
Economic & Social Impact
Driving real outcomes through recognition, connection and sustainable growth for Indigenous suppliers.
