As we approach the first anniversary of the Black Saturday bushfires in Victoria, we take a moment to reflect on the impacts and legacy of that tragedy. The public response to February 7 2009 was overwhelmingly generous, and philanthropy, government and community organisations have been working together this past year to support the people and communities affected . The philanthropic sector's involvement has been extensive and strategic. At the outset it was determined that, while many of our Members contributed to immediate relief efforts, philanthropy's role was primarily in developing and enabling medium and long term strategies and projects for community rebuilding and renewal. We continue with this work and, one year down the track, take time to consider lessons learned. |
