Hi B Corp buddies,
We are linking our NRW events to our Intrepid Foundation Partner Country Needs People, an organisation that supports a network of 47 Indigenous partner groups, to grow, support and secure Indigenous land and sea management by strengthen the work of Indigenous communities and ranger teams on the ground. In short they create ranger jobs for First Nations people to look after Country.

You can read more here: Country Needs People • The Intrepid Foundation.

If you are looking for a First Nations cause to connect to any work you do for National Reconciliation Week, this is a good one, and one of their donors has committed to matching donations until 30 June 2024. If you want to hear more about it, I can organise a chat with our team at the Intrepid Foundation.
Cheers,
Annette

Hey Sydney BCorps,
In my research I found this awesome bakery (and online shop) - I thought I must share! Located on Bent and Spring St in the city. They have delicious sounding Native pastries and loads of other goodies

Hi @LucindaW
I am trying to work out if I remember correctly from the Reconciliation Week webinar you hosted. did you mention there was a group of BCorps that connect regarding their RAP progress?
We have just registered our Innovate RAP and would love to connect with some other like-minded businesses on a couple of the actions and deliverables.
Thanks so much
Sharon

Hi Sharon! Yes, there is a B Corp Reconciliation Action Group that meets monthly. August’s session is a round table event on Measuring Reconciliation Impact with 15 Times Better , which is open to all B Corps who are on their Reconciliation journey, which I would encourage you to join. If you want to talk more about joining the Reconciliation Group, reach out to us at community@bcorporation.com.au
