Impact100 Sydney invites you to our 2025 campaign launch, where we'll explore Sydney's most pressing social challenges and how collective giving can create meaningful change. This pivotal event will guide our donor community's focus for the year ahead.

Join us for a dynamic discussion led by Matt Levinson, Head of Corporate Affairs and Cultural Policy Lead at the Committee for Sydney.

Our panel will tackle the big questions facing our city: What are Sydney's most pressing social challenges? If you had $100,000 to invest in Sydney's future, where would it make the greatest impact? How can collective giving catalyze meaningful change in our communities?

Our expert panel brings unique perspectives on community transformation:

Rabbi Mendel Kastel OAM leads Jewish House, a multi-faith crisis centre preventing homelessness and providing vital support services. His extensive work spans mental health advocacy and chaplaincy across major Sydney hospitals. Recently recognised as a Westfield 'Local Hero', Rabbi Kastel demonstrates how targeted intervention creates lasting social impact.
Allienttia Weldon-Oti, a proud Wayilwan, Gomeori, and Wiradjuri woman, leads the First Nations Access program at the Welfare Rights Centre. Combining lived experience with legal expertise, she works to improve accessibility and advocate for First Nations peoples' rights, addressing systemic barriers faced by Aboriginal communities.
Jo Taranto leads Good for the Hood, a social enterprise dedicated to sustainability and community education. Her work explores human connection to places, ideas and each other through behavioral insights and nature-based research. As co-host of Channel 10's Planet Shapers and an accomplished presenter, Jo demonstrates how understanding human behavior can transform relationships and drive sustainable business practices.
Scott Langford, as CEO of Housing Australia, champions affordable housing as the foundation for social and economic wellbeing. With over 20 years of experience across private and community sectors, he has pioneered innovative approaches to housing investment, notably mobilising over $1 billion in private sector funding while leading SGCH, a community housing provider serving 12,000 residents. His extensive leadership experience and professional credentials in property development demonstrate how strategic housing solutions can create pathways to homeownership and community stability.

We extend our gratitude to Gilbert and Tobin for hosting this important conversation.
