Euraba's vision as stated in their current business plan is; to be known as a leading Indigenous cultural enterprise; have prepared a new generation of young people to be artists, papermakers and business people, and be well on the way to achieving their ambition of being a self sustaining business.
 
Philanthropic funding will help Euraba build and a purpose-built arts centre, incorporating workshops, a gallery space, meeting rooms and a cafe. This facility could provide employment and training opportunities within the community. This would also enable Euraba to attract more tourists seeking artworks and locally produced crafts.
