About this episode

Pippa Hudson discusses The Future Fund with guests Nicola Bergsteedt and Jason Dionysopoulos, focusing on redirecting coffee money to impactful organizations.

Pippa Hudson speaks to Nicola Bergsteedt and Jason Dionysopoulos about The Future Fund, which asks funders to give up the cost of one single cup of takeaway coffee per month, and redirect those funds to established, well-vetted organisations where impact is proven.  Lunch with Pippa Hudson is CapeTalk’s mid-afternoon show.  This 2-hour respite from hard news encourages the audience to take the time to explore, taste, read, and reflect.
