Founder Stories: Five Bucks on Why The Future of Giving is Collective
Foundations Stage
Featuring: Brianna Kerr. In Australia, the number of people giving to charity has been declining for over 15 years and when compared to other countries like the UK, Canada, NZ and the US, we give way less. To reverse these trends, many are chasing major donors but what if there was another way? What if everyday Australians could lead the change through pooling small donations? Enter Five Bucks, a bold new giving movement proving that small contributions, when pooled together, can drive real impact. Founded by Brianna (Bri) Kerr, Five Bucks is redefining philanthropy in Australia - making it accessible, simple and people-powered. At Sunrise, Bri will share how she’s channelling small acts of generosity into a movement, what it takes to rally a community around a shared vision and why micro-donations could be the secret to unlocking Australia’s giving potential. If you care about impact, community or love a good underdog story, don’t miss this session.
