What are five actions needed to boost cultural diversity in philanthropy?

In this webinar, you will learn from key experts in the social impact space about how philanthropy can help to advance racial equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Drawing on new research from the Centre for Social Impact UNSW and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research at UTS , presenters will discuss why culturally diverse groups (including First Nations peoples) could be missing out on critical funds, and explore five actions that funders and the sector can undertake to help bring about change.

Presenters include:

  • Jack Heath, CEO of Philanthropy Australia
  • Dr Meera Varadharajan, Research Fellow at the Centre for Social Impact UNSW
  • Professor Lindon Coombes, Director of Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research
  • Arminé Nalbandian, CEO at the Centre for Social Impact
  • Nalika Peiris, a local government leader
