The Philanthropy Australia National Conference brought the philanthropic sector and broader community together with the world’s best thinkers, strategists and leading voices to act as a catalyst for change.
The effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic were long-lasting and it was critical that the philanthropic sector came together to connect, share learnings, experiences and best-practice approaches to support the new environment and long-term recovery.
The 2021 Philanthropy Australia National Conference interactive online program focused on what our Australian and global communities need from philanthropy as we move forward into a changed future, and work to build back better together.
On 21-22 April, the thought-provoking sessions program unpacked and debated the future needs of our society and the role of philanthropy in addressing these challenges, asking: which directions should we take? Who decides? And based on what evidence or signals?
Following on from those sessions, on 5-6 May we came together online for the Philanthropy Australia National Conference Workshops to explore a diverse, interactive program and ask: what does the future need from us, now?

"I want to acknowledge the extraordinary contribution of so many philanthropists – especially those I have had the privilege to meet these past few months. Your generosity, over many decades, has woven the rich tapestry that is Philanthropy Australia today. And there has never been a more important time for Australian philanthropy."
