Wominjeka Welcome
Donkey Wheel House is more than a building.
What would happen if philanthropy put people, creativity, and courage at the centre of change?
- We’re an anchor
- We amplify
- We walk alongside
- We activate
Founded in 2004 by the Brunner family, Donkey Wheel was never designed to be a traditional charity. It was built as a different way of thinking — a belief that when passionate people are given trust, space, and support, they create movement.
We welcome people from all walks of life. To make, gather, listen and find community.

A First Nations Organisation, with a First Nations approach creating change for future generations.
I knew when I opened my space I was in the right place to do it. With the rich, purpose-driven and passionate community in this historic building, I am part of something bigger.
What I love most is the genuine sense of purpose and community. There’s something special about being surrounded by people who aren’t just here to do business, but to create real impact.
It’s not just a venue, it’s a community of people doing meaningful things, and that aligns beautifully with what we’re about at The Salsa Foundation: bringing people together and creating something bigger than ourselves through dance.
