With the generous support of The City of Sydney, Virtual Mentoring Mondays are weekly virtual mentoring sessions for SECNA members only.

The objective of the session is to encourage community sourced insights and solutions to a challenge faced by a SECNA member. 

This week’s SECNA member presenter: Nook Studios

Challenge: Nook Studios is a social enterprise of open government advocates, researchers, designers, storytellers, and creative civic technologists. We run workshops, events, and make useful content and information products that simply explain, visualise, and connect complex laws, data and processes. Our goals are to help organisations be open, communicate effectively, and enable communities to participate in decisions that impact them. We are well known overseas, have great projects and products that people and governments want, but we are finding it difficult to find local funders and project partners.

We are keen to know if people are interested in learning about open government. We work on mining, oil and gas, energy transition so keen to find funders who care about that. Any ideas for funders/project partners interested in making procurement processes easier to navigate and contracting data more accessible? In particular we are keen to find funding to continue our work supporting resource recovery social enterprises. We have tax deductible donation status via the Australian Cultural Fund. We are also keen to hear about funders who provide core funding.
