SHOWCASE PROJECT
DOCUMENTARY AUSTRALIA FOUNDATION: SOCIAL IMPACT MEASUREMENT FRAMEWORK
There is significant evidence that participation in cultural experiences exerts considerable influence on audience behaviours, ranging from building understanding within and between social groups, to inspiring people to act in meaningful ways to change their own and others lives. Yet little work has been done on developing a specific measurement framework that can be used to identify the contribution that participation in cultural experiences and associated audience engagement campaigns make to public debate, education, changed behaviours, social change and policy reform.

THE CHRIS O'BRIEN LIFEHOUSE CHARITABLE BONDS: INVESTMENT FOR COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL BENEFIT
Chris O’Brien Lifehouse is a centre of excellence for cancer care that combines diagnosis, treatment, research, education and emotional support to improve the lives of people affected by the disease.

The Nelson Meers Foundation assisted in the financing of the Lifehouse Centre by investing in the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse Charitable Bonds in order to provide the Lifehouse with more flexibility than traditional bank debt, and because of the community and social benefits they offer.
