International speaker Vu Le is bringing his message about funding for equity and change to Aotearoa, New Zealand. Dunedin Community Builders, Hui E! Community Aotearoa and Volunteering NZ are pleased to be hosting this internationally renowned speaker and funding equity advocate on a national tour from late September. Vu will officially launch the resource 'Be the Change: Funding and Equity' at a free community hui in Dunedin on Wednesday 28 September, from 10am-1pm.

In case you haven’t heard of Vu, he writes the hugely popular blog, NonprofitAF.com. 

He is the former executive director of Rainier Valley Corp, a non-profit in Seattle that promotes social justice by supporting leaders of colour, strengthening organisations led by communities of colour, and fostering collaboration between diverse communities. 

Vu is a founding board member of Community-Centric Fundraising, a movement that aims to ground fundraising practices in racial equity and social justice.

This will be a great professional development opportunity for community builders and connectors across Otago. The event will include conversations with several community champions and plenty of time for attendees to ask questions, as well as lunch - in what promises to be a great community event.
