NZ Philanthropy Leader Pulotu Tupe Solomon Tanaoi to MC ‘A Beautiful Thing’ – B4A Collective Launch in Western Sydney

Sydney, NSW – 6 September 2025

Internationally respected philanthropy leader Pulotu Tupe Solomon Tanaoi will travel from New Zealand to host ‘A Beautiful Thing’, the official launch of B4A Collective, in Western Sydney this September.

Pulotu Tupe, Chief Philanthropic Officer at the Michael and Suzanne Borrin Foundation, Deputy Chair of Philanthropy New Zealand, and Co-Founder of Poporazzi Productions, is known across the Pacific for her leadership, storytelling, and advocacy for justice. Her presence marks a significant moment for B4A’s mission to connect donors, volunteers and business partners directly with grassroots community leaders.

Founded by Michelle Temu, B4A Collective seeks to close the gap in Australia’s charitable sector, where more than 60% of charities receive less than 2% of the sector’s $222 billion revenue.

The launch event will feature a Māori Powhiri and smoking ceremony, followed by a multicultural degustation dinner telling stories of Indigenous and community-led philanthropy through food, culture, and performance.

About B4A Collective

At B4A Collective, we bridge the gap between vision and resources for grassroots organisations. We understand that while you're busy making a real difference, fundraising often gets pushed to the side — but it doesn’t have to. Whether you're a giver wanting to support meaningful change, or a doer in need of sustainable funding strategies, we're here for you. With 20 years of experience across the not-for-profit sector in New Zealand, Ethiopia and now Australia, we connect everyday philanthropists with trusted, high-impact organisations — and help community leaders diversify their income streams so they can keep doing what they do best. We believe in taking the power back and placing it in the hands of those who care. Let’s work together to create systemic, sustainable and community-driven change. Reach out for a free 30-minute discovery call and let’s bring your vision to life.
