Crawford reconciliation plan inspires raffle fundraiser
Claims management group Crawford & Company is running a raffle to raise funds for Indigenous artists.
The prize is the original artwork featured on the cover of Crawford’s inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan, released earlier this month.
The work, titled Flourishing Futures, is by Indigenous artist Tim Buckley. Proceeds from the raffle will go to the non-profit Arts Law Centre of Australia.
Crawford head of key account management Angela Fitzpatrick, who led the development of the Reconciliation Action Plan with other colleagues, says doing something meaningful with the commissioned artwork feels fitting.
“Having a RAP is about truly making a difference, making an impact within our sphere of influence, and for us that starts immediately with our fundraising efforts for Arts Law,” she said.
Crawford Australia president Jonathan Hubbard says it was important to him that the business produced its RAP.
“Alongside many of our insurance industry clients, we operate in virtually every corner of Australia and touch a vast number of communities every day,” he said. “So we think that having a RAP will help guide us to ensure any service delivered to First Nations peoples is done so in a culturally informed, respectful and accessible way.”
