The Regional Information and Finance Forums (RIFFs) are a new initiative of the Blak Loungeroom, designed to strengthen connections between grassroots First Nations communities and the philanthropic sector. These regional gatherings create space for dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and relationship-building, bringing together communities with shared priorities and funders who are aligned in their support.

By hosting these forums across different regions of the country, RIFFs ensure that local voices lead the conversation, cultural protocols are respected, and lasting partnerships can be formed. Each forum is co-designed with the host community and supported through sponsorship, with an emphasis on cultural exchange and long-term impact.
