Understanding the Governance of Charitable Foundations - Seminar


Perhaps you've come across some of these questions in relation to your foundation. Can you answer them all?

If you don’t know the answers, Understanding the Governance of Charitable Foundations Seminar will help.

This seminar is an exploration of issues and considerations for trustees of charitable trusts and foundations in Australia.  Topics to be covered include the structure of charitable trusts, governance and the role trustees play; what trustees must do and what trustees should consider doing; and governance failure.

This seminar is an ideal base for new trustees and foundation staff; useful to those providing advice on setting up foundations and trusts; and an excellent reference document and aide memoire to those already familiar with its subject.  This seminar also provides an opportunity for those with significant interaction with foundations and trusts to understand the responsibilities and issues considered by Trustees.  

The trustee handbook on the Roles and Duties of Trustees of Charitable Trusts and Foundations in Australia will provide the materials for the seminar.  Created in consultation with Philanthropy Australia’s Members, this Trustee Handbook is an essential document for PPFs, Community Foundations, Family Foundations, Charitable Trusts and Ancillary Funds.

PhilanthropyWiki articleThe Trustee Handbook is available for free download from the PhilanthropyWiki.
