Network feature: meet Unna Goldsworthy - Performance coaching with a wellbeing lens

For more than 20 years, Unna has helped leaders navigate key moments and decisions with confidence, clarity and stability.

For a peek under the hood of Unna’s approach, check out this short blog she wrote on the control agenda. Unna acknowledges that our minds work in a way that prioritises control, but loosening control is disruptive - in a good way - and liberating.

A powerful conversation starter between NFPs and grantmakers …

"Are you able to support capacity building for my organisation?

Benefolk partners with grantmakers to run an end to end program for their grantees. This means I wouldn't have to hunt around for providers. It's done as a single grant to them as they have DGR1 which saves us time writing applications. Benefolk can provide us with the support we need and it means we get to work with one of their specialists."

Areas include:
✨Governance
✨Sustainability
✨Risk management
✨Fundraising
✨Income diversification
✨Leadership
✨Operational capability

Our colleagues at Minderoo Foundation recently released the Unlocking Generosity Report, developed with The Edward Alexander Foundation.

On 15 June, join Kristen Stevenson, Brad Ruting and Catherine Brooks for a national webinar exploring the findings of the report. The conversation will cover:
• Why giving conversations matter
• The opportunity ahead for philanthropy in Australia
• What needs to change to better support generosity

📅 15 June
🕐 1pm AEST

It's a very timely conversation, as Australia is about to experience one of the largest transfers of wealth in its history. But the Unlocking Generosity Report suggests up to $12 billion in charitable donations could be missed by 2030 because too few conversations about giving are taking place.
