As Australia undergoes a reckoning of its colonial origins, philanthropy and all the power that comes with the practice is being put under the spotlight.
US-based philanthropic activist, Edgar Villanueva, is at the forefront of the movement to decolonise philanthropy not only in his home country but across the world.
Following his keynote address at Philanthropy Australia’s 2021 National Conference, Villanueva told Pro Bono News that he is aiming to spark conversations around the lack of diversity in Australian philanthropic organisations, and the small percentage of grant dollars going towards Indigenous communities and people of colour.
Philanthropy Australia acknowledges the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of the nation and the Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and future.
