The Coburn Family Trust
Partnering for practical, lasting impact.
At the Coburn Family Trust, we invest time, resources, and relationships to help scale what works—advancing equitable education, clean water, and pathways for Indigenous and marginalized youth. We don’t reinvent the wheel; we help it roll further, faster, and more fairly—alongside community leaders.
Our Focus
We partner where long-term change is possible.
Education & Opportunity
We support scholarships and partnerships that open lasting doors for Indigenous and underserved youth.
Youth Transformation & Belonging
Together with community partners, we help connect at-risk youth to housing, mentorship, and career paths.
Water Security
We back Indigenous-led clean water solutions and help scale the tech, funding, and systems to sustain them.
How We Work
We don’t just fund projects—we show up as partners, collaborators, and long-term thinkers.
We follow leadership
Local voices and Indigenous leadership define the vision. We listen first, act second.
We bring more than money
Our investments include time, relationships, and experience—not just dollars.
We focus on what lasts
We prioritize sustainability, scalability, and solutions owned by the communities they serve.
We move
Think. Plan. Do. Then do it better—with our partners, not for them.
