Rethinking philanthropy, embracing social justice [Video]

What does it mean to do good? And how can we make a real difference? These questions lie at the heart of defining philanthropy as we strive to build our nation into an inclusive, progressive society.

Communities face enduring challenges, both internal and external, rooted in systemic issues over the years, demanding sustainable solutions. Philanthropy becomes problematic when it is reduced to a one-off charity initiative. Whether it is used to bolster an organisation’s corporate social responsibility efforts or to distribute wealth, this approach sets an ineffective and unsustainable precedent for true, lasting change.
