The world needs environmentalists now more than ever before. There are many motivations to choosing a role in an environmental NGO and remuneration is rarely high on the list - but the costs of living are just as real. FBT exemption can help make these critical roles competitive, assisting to attract and retain the talent that the world needs in these positions.

In this webinar with the Association of Charitable Foundations and the Environmental Funders Network, we will share findings from the #EveryonesEnvironment programme and consider how funders can empower charities to take action on the social impacts of the environmental crises.

I've been in a bit of a startup bubble 🙈 the last few years, so last night it was refreshing to be immersed in a new community, filled with fresh faces and ideas (courtesy of Queensland Gives by Queensland Community Foundation). There's something special about being in a room surrounded by people who selflessly dedicate so much of their time and energy to helping support others and the environment. I've been thinking a lot recently about where there are potential intersections between the approach and focus of #NFPs and the world of #startups and #venturecapital. While many would probably see them as 'chalk and cheese' (one focused on financial returns at all costs, while the other forgoes financial gain altogether), they share quite a few common traits: 1️⃣ Commonly inspired by a personal experience of the founder 2️⃣ A vision for a better way/ better future and a fierce passion for making this change while others might be ok with the status quo 3️⃣ Require entrepreneurial spirit and smarts to start and survive I think these common traits make them ripe for more collaboration and sharing of insights, yet it's quite rare to see Australian tech startups partnering meaningfully with not-for-profits who share similar goals or values. Why is this? 🤔 I'd love to know more about examples of this happening. If exploring how the NFP/ philanthropy world can better partner and intersect with the startup/ VC world tickles your fancy, I'd love to hear from you! 💌
