Host Lotima Vaioleti is joined by Lourdes Vano, project coordinator at the Pasifika Funders Network, to explore how Indigenous values are reshaping philanthropy.

They kōrero about re-indigenising giving, building genuine relationships between funders and communities, and why youth leadership is critical for the sector’s future. Lourdes shares reflections on solidarity over charity, protecting ancestral knowledge, and what it means to weave Pacific values into funding systems.

Note: In this episode, Pasifika Funders Network is mentioned as an official incorporated society. Correction: it is a registered Charitable Trust.
