Social Enterprise

So what makes Red Cockatoo a Social Enterprise?

Much of our work, 30 - 40% at times is not for profit, bringing wonderful social outcomes for the Aboriginal people and communities we work with.

 

Social Enterprise Work

30% - 40% of our time is spent in the non income earning services such as:

  • Training young Indigenous employees / Training Aboriginal arts group coordinators in exhibitions, curating etc..
  • Mentoring artists
  • Promoting all Aboriginal events we know of
  • LOANING money so artists can travel overseas to show artworks
  • Professional development for artists:
