NFP Collaborative Innovation Forum - Tackling Hunger in Canberra
About this Event
Join us for the second NFP Collaborative Innovation Forum: Tackling Hunger in Canberra.
Bringing together people from across the community, not-for-profit, universities, local business, philanthropic, government and research sectors, the forum will explore practical, community-led responses to hunger. Together, we’ll share fresh ideas, build partnerships and develop solutions that no single organisation could achieve alone.
Microgrants will be available to support selected ideas emerging from the forum.
The annual forum is developed by the University of Canberra, Canberra Innovation Network and Hands Across Canberra. This year's theme has been co-designed with the Snow Foundation, ANU McCusker Institute, The Millhouse Ventures and OzHarvest.
We also gratefully acknowledge Minderoo Foundation and Snow Foundation for their funding support and the University of Canberra for hosting the event and providing the beautiful venue.
Bring your perspective and help shape a more food-secure Canberra!
