It’s Up to Us – Climate Funders Handbook

For ten years we’ve been partnering with communities with long-term plans to improve social, cultural, and economic outcomes for children and families. Over this time the impact of climate change has become a clear and present danger to the success of any gains towards equity and justice.

Thriving People and Places

After lots of learning, reflection, and refinement we are very pleased to share with you the vision, values, principles, and work that will take Dusseldorp Forum forward from 2023.

Festival of Connection reunites change-makers

The Festival of Connection provides the opportunity to connect and share experiences, build a strong collective voice for systemic reform and better outcomes for children and communities.

Maranguka Cross Sector Leadership Group

The Maranguka Cross-Sector Leadership Group case study shares the blueprint for how government and non-government organisations can work together in wholly new ways to be accountable to communities leading positive change.

Storytelling for Systems Change

We’ve partnered with the Centre for Public Impact and Hands Up Mallee to explore how stories can be used to more effectively communicate the impact of community-led systems change work.

Stronger Places, Stronger People

Dusseldorp Forum has committed to tackling system reform as part of Stronger Places, Stronger People – a five-year commitment by community, philanthropy, federal and state governments to develop, implement and measure community-led approaches that address the root causes of disadvantage in Australian communities.

Philanthropy, Systems and Change

COVID-19 has further exposed how policy and power structures hold problems in place. It has also provided a unique, timely opportunity to address the structural reform required to strengthen our communities.

30th anniversary interviews

To celebrate our 30th anniversary, we have commissioned a series of interviews which feature the diversity of people and projects the Forum has engaged with and the impact of the Forum’s work over the past 30 years.
