Fremantle Foundation

Last week, after 10 years, I stepped down as EO of the Fremantle Foundation. buff.ly/2KmEz9O It has been an honour to help the Fremantle Foundation come to life. I know it has been the efforts of many hearts to make it happen.

Philanthropy and private social investment can help by drawing on two distinctive features of private giving that are often missing in market mechanisms and government operations: innovation and risk-taking. buff.ly/37CnRho

32% of our Named Funds are ‘family funds’ and given the benefits of engaging family members of all ages in philanthropy, it is no wonder why! It might just be the key to helping your children be happier, smarter & more successful. buff.ly/2qzbRMI

What truly sets them (community foundations) apart is that this is done as a community, with the community and for the community. probonoaustralia.com.au/news/2019/10/s…

An alarming amount of people experience #homelessness on the Fleurieu Peninsula and #JunctionAustralia is creating local partnerships to curb this. From podiatrists and motels, to hairdressers and foundations, all partners are integral to this work, because we are #BetterTogether

Incredible! #BetterTogether2019

Great discussion happening amongst community foundation colleagues whilst we take in the scenery aboard a boat cruising towards the Murray Mouth. #BetterTogether2019 @AusPhilanthropy

“Agility and courage” what do those words mean to you and your organisation? #BetterTogether2019

Stuart Benjamin from @RDAGrampians giving us perspective on the magnitude of disruption: "If you think that the way you operate is going to be the same in five years ... You're bonkers. I drove a car here that drives itself, three years ago you would have thought I was bonkers."
