Sticky Money

From "Co-Mingling" to "Sticky Money": Les Hems describes how the Broome Community Impact Investment Model is starting to fly...

It has been just on twelve months since the original Co-Mingling interview with Les Hems which documented the beginning steps in formulating a strategy for Broome organisations to work together collaboratively. In that time some great strides have been made.  Organisations are working very well together. The long term thinking initiated six years ago by the Kimberley Institute in collaboration with the significant Broome Aboriginal organisations is starting to pay great dividends for the community and for organisations. This new thinking builds on the natural innovation of Broome from Paddy Roe to the high quality and independent Aboriginal leaders and organisations that have evolved and are moving forward even in tough times.
