Judith Neilson

Neilson's financial status has supported her philanthropic initiatives, exemplified through the establishment of the 100 million Judith Neilson Institute for Journalism and Ideas. Situated in Sydney, the institute fosters collaboration with international journalists and media organisations and encourages independent quality journalism. In 2015 Neilson endowed a Chair of Architecture at the University of New South Wales to develop housing solutions for displaced individuals, such as climate refugees or those affected by natural disaster or conflict. The gallery showcases and pays particular tribute to 21st century Chinese modern art, as a reflection of Judith's personal inclination towards Asian art culture. This followed Neilson's first trips to Beijing in the late 1990s, where she was exposed to such art. The White Rabbit Gallery is today one of the most significant collections of Chinese contemporary art. Neilson regularly travels to both China and Taiwan to augment the collection that includes more than 2,000 works by almost 700 artists. Since 2015, the White Rabbit Gallery has been funded solely by Judith Neilson. She was named one of the ''Australian Financial Review's'' 100 Women of Influence in 2018. ==Personal life==
