Evaluating for Impact 

Liz Gillies, CEO of Menzies Foundation, and her panellists take a deep dive into what it means to develop a best practice approach and create a lasting impact for grantmakers, and not-for-profits in philanthropy. As the lead author in Philanthropy: Toward a Better Practice Model, recognises that philanthropy is an important catalyst for social change and plays a compelling role in supporting communities and mitigating disadvantages.

Developing a corporate giving strategy that delivers for all stakeholders 

In today’s world, it’s no longer acceptable to focus on shareholder return alone, stakeholders are now king, and all their needs must be embraced.  More businesses are recognising that they must develop giving strategies that align with their purpose and values, but navigating how to set this up, measure its impact and deliver more broadly against a company’s Sustainable Development Goals can be challenging.  
In this Masterclass we will look at each of these stages, from where to start to what it can deliver, to address the needs of all stakeholders.

Building our Cultural Intelligence

The conversation about how philanthropy can walk alongside First Nations people is not a new one, but how can we translate talk into meaningful action, to become allies and pick up the pace on delivering impact. While it is necessary to obtain some Cultural Awareness/Safety/Intelligence training as a foundation for engagement with First Nations peoples, there is work to be done beyond to build increased capability. In this Masterclass, we will not delve into the basic elements of Cultural Awareness/Safety/Intelligence training, but instead, explore how to improve our understanding of applied awareness of power as it relates to building cultural intelligence. 

Mark Yettica-Paulson - Deep Collaboration Lead, Collaboration for Impact, Chief Director, Super Native Unlimited

What does contemporary grantmaking look like and how do you operationalise it?  

In this Masterclass, Genevieve will cover the fundamentals of effective structured giving in 2022, drawing on more than three decades of deep and wide experience in the changing landscape of philanthropy in Australia and across the world.
This class is designed for people seeking professional development in contemporary philanthropic grantmaking, whether as individuals or as part of an organisation. Content will focus on current philanthropic practices and challenges, including analysis and reflection on past giving strategies that work or no longer serve.
This is an interactive workshop offering tools, examples to harness practical applications, and a set of guiding principles, all ensuring optimal impact and efficiency in structured giving today.
As an Industry Partner with the Centre for Social Impact at Swinburne University, and a Senior Associate at the Paul Ramsay Foundation, Genevieve is committed to contemporary, future focused strategies for structured philanthropic giving.

What does ‘applying a lens’ to your program design and funding really mean, and to what end?

We often hear the term 'apply a lens to your giving’, but what does that actually mean in the context of funding and program design? With our panel of experts, we are deep diving into various lenses, including LGBTIQA+, climate, gender and disability and their undoubtable intersectionality. This masterclass will challenge the current rhetoric and ask how can we maximise philanthropy’s involvement to strengthen our communities.
