Celebrating the positive impact of philanthropy.
The Australian Philanthropy Awards recognise and celebrate extraordinary achievements in contemporary philanthropy for work that is visionary, high impact and transformative.
They also celebrate partnerships between philanthropy and non-profits, honouring the great achievements of those who are working to create lasting and positive change and the impact of our collective community – which could never be achieved alone.
