Purpose and the Crisis of Trust
Trust is a vital ingredient that ties the fabric of our community together. It is essential for supporting social cohesion and building consensus around how we respond to social, environmental and economic challenges. But in Australia and around the world, people are becoming increasingly distrustful of government, business, the media and the not-for-profit sector. What are the implications of this for philanthropy and social change agents more broadly?
Criterion Institute is making a long-term commitment to demonstrating possibilities for using finance as a tool to affect social change around gender-based violence.
