WHAT WE DO
Practicing generosity by funding projects and providing for needs identified through relationships.
A deeply personal endeavour, this project pays tribute to Elmedin “Dino” Kovacevic and his distinctive ways of caring for others. He forever changed our lives because as a refugee from elsewhere, he welcomed us as kin and loved us as family.
Through TDP, we exercise generosity by providing resources through relationship, believing that generosity begets generosity, that giving creates more.
Commitments:
To act with generosity in the face of scarcity
To connect goodwill and unmet need
To invite kinship across difference
WHO WE ARE
We are partners in life and work. Formed and transformed by people around the world, we belong to two cultures – Australian and American. Together for 22 years, we are committed to cultivating connections across the borders of faith, nationality, race, and language.
This is the work for the rest of our lives. We give ourselves to this project with passion and conviction, based on years of learning from extraordinary people in vulnerable places. The focus is the ordinary and everyday. Generosity is the grace-filled medium.
– Sherry and Geoff Maddock
ABOUT DINO
The Dino Project is a venture of generosity, carried out in memory of Elmedin “Dino” Kovacevic, a beloved friend who was driven to do good despite his own experience of tragedy.
He was passionate, moved deeply by need, and fiercely committed to helping others. Often impulsive and undaunted, he gave without recognition. Much of his good giving was only discovered after his premature death. Dino’s ways of living generously endure with this endeavor.
