Philanthropy 101 Seminars
Are you new to philanthropy? You may be a trustee, a grants administrator or a private giver, or just somebody wondering what it's all about.
In this seminar Philanthropy Australia staff Rikki Andrews and Vanessa Meachen will:
- give you a social and historical overview of philanthropy;
- highlight what is unique about Australian grantmaking;
- provide insight into giving structures, statistics and trends;
- and indicate key resources.
This is a great opportunity for those new to the sector to understand where they fit in, to envisage their own organisation in the context of the wider sector, and to meet fellow philanthrocrats.
Targeted Seminars
We also conduct 101 seminars for targeted audiences, including corporate and CSR, as outlined below.
Corporate Philanthropy 101 Seminar
Are you new to corporate social responsibility? You may be a new grants program administrator or the workplace giving coordinator, or just want to know where your CSR activities 'fit' in the world of philanthropy.
This workshop will provide you with an overview of Australian philanthropy and highlight opportunities for understanding and collaboration between the business and philanthropic sectors.
