Six of Australia’s most strategic funders were recognised for the impact of their giving at the 2017 Philanthropy Australia Awards in Melbourne on Wednesday 5 April 2017.
The Australian Philanthropy Awards – an initiative of Philanthropy Australia – celebrate innovative partnerships between grant-makers and not-for-profits, highlighting the significant achievements of projects that help solve complex societal issues.
Sarah Davies, CEO of Philanthropy Australia, said the Awards provided an important opportunity to recognise the unique accomplishments of those who are working to create lasting and positive change, both in Australia and abroad.
“Although Australian philanthropic organisations stand at the forefront of innovation, their important work is often done behind the scenes. The Awards showcase the many impressive examples of great leadership in philanthropic giving.”
“The Awards attracted a strong field across all categories, and our warm congratulations go to all the nominees, finalists and winners,” said Ms Davies
Selection criteria focused on visionary, high impact and transformative philanthropy, defined by commitment, courage, and entrepreneurship.
