Giving Philosophy

The Give Where You Live Foundation seeks to catalyse systems change, build community assets, and incubate social innovation to help all people and places thrive across the G21 region. Their Theory of Change involves identifying and addressing systemic barriers, taking a whole-of-community approach to strengthen connections and resilience, and supporting the self-determination of Australia’s First Nations people to meet their social, cultural, and economic needs.
