Statement in support of YES in the Voice referendum |
After extensive deliberations, including discussions with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our RAP Executive Working Group and feedback from members to a national survey – in which an overwhelming number of respondents told us Philanthropy Australia should support YES or make a statement as it sees appropriate – our Board has released a statement on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament. |

How big data and philanthropy are taking on child exploitation |
Social impact drives many philanthropic endeavors, but perhaps the most profoundly challenging of all to tackle is the prevention of childhood sexual abuse. The International Centre For Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC) Australia has announced that the first recipient of its Child Protection Fund is a leading UK firm specialising in data-led disruption of financial transactions associated with this heinous and rapidly growing crime.

| Every so often, we share sector movements here. Here's a quick note about two recent movements:
Claire Reaney has been appointed CEO at the Humpty Dumpty Foundation, having worked at the Foundation for more than 15 years including almost a decade as Operations Manager.
The Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) has announced the appointment of William Myer to its Board. William is the representative of the Sidney Myer Fund, one of the founding partners of FRRR. |
