Tony Stuart, who is leading the NFP coronavirus committee established by the National COVID-19 Coordination Commission this month, says the NFP sector can make a significant contribution to the community during the COVID-19 crisis beyond.
Mr Stuart, who is the CEO of UNICEF Australia and the chair of the Charity, Philanthropy and Fundraising Advisory Group, told Pro Bono News the group aimed to identify the barriers charities faced when providing services.
He said tackling dropping giving levels and charity red tape will be the top priorities of the newly established NFP working group to ensure charities can assist during and after coronavirus.
The NFP coronavirus committee will also work to highlight the ways in which the NFP sector can make a significant contribution to the community during the crisis and the rebuilding phase of COVID-19, added Mr Stuart.
