Australian Communities Foundation’s recent Democracy + Tackling Inequality Learning Circle provided great insight as to how philanthropy can back initiatives tackling intergenerational inequities in Australia.
Young people experience social and economic issues in different ways than generations prior. By recognising the shared and unique challenges they face and finding ways to address them, we can work together to create a fairer future and stronger democracy for everyone.
