Respectful relationships and cultural awareness are essential first steps in establishing effective funding relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, leaders and organisations. The presenters will discuss what cultural awareness and cultural safety mean for people working in philanthropy, the benefits and importance of deeper listening, common ‘mistakes’ people make, and barriers to respectful funding relationships.
