Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation is a large community foundation in Melbourne, Australia, with an endowment of Aus $255 million. We hold strategic and donor advised funds and aim to respond to the changing needs of the community. In Melbourne, our priorities are lack of affordable housing, growing wealth inequality and most importantly climate change.
The WINGS network hopes these promising new practices will help development funders of all types to deepen their impact on people’s lives and reduce communities’ dependency while strengthening local and national organisations to design and lead their own work.
As the world faces the urgent threat of climate change, it has become clear that it requires more than one actor to solve this complex and pressing issue. It’s clear that solving this complex problem requires collaborative efforts and partnerships between various actors, including governments, businesses, civil society organizations, and philanthropic institutions.
