About us
The Michael Long Foundation, funds education and football programs for Indigenous people. This is achieved primarily through the MLLLC managed by AFLNT.
These programs help unlock the potential in Indigenous youth and enrich lives, while ensuring participants receive the same opportunities as their non-Indigenous peers.
The Michael Long Foundation support programs operated by AFLNT on Larrakia country. We acknowledge the Larrakia people as the Traditional Owners of the Darwin region and pay our respects to Larrakia elders past and present. We are committed to a positive future for the Aboriginal community.
