Welcome to Philanthropy Australia


Philanthropy:
The planned and structured giving of money, time, information, goods and services, voice and influence to improve the wellbeing of humanity and the community.

Philanthropy Australia is the national peak body for philanthropy and is a not-for-profit membership organisation. Our Members are trusts and foundations, families and individuals who want to make a difference through their own philanthropy and to encourage others to become philanthropists.

Our mission is to represent, grow and inspire an effective and robust philanthropic sector for the community.

We encourage you to use this website as a launching pad into the community of philanthropy, making use of it as both a resource and networking tool. Both those new to the sector and those seeking the most up-to-date and exhaustive information will find this site invaluable.

Most importantly, Philanthropy Australia encourages you to partake in the joy of giving - be it financial or otherwise.

New edition of Australian Philanthropy Journal: Indigenous philanthropy (18/01/12)
Indigenous philanthropy is both an area in need of funding and support, and a lens through which other areas of philanthropic work can be viewed. Cultural, artistic, educational and health challenges are all being addressed by different groups in the not-for-profit sector. This issue of Australian Philanthropy offers firsthand accounts of the work being done. This issue also provides an opportunity for philanthropists and other professionals in the sector who work with Indigenous people and communities to share their knowledge and experiences.
