Thank you to our Leadership Summit Partners

The Philanthropy Leadership Summit 2025 is completely sold out and we’re pleased to be expecting 450 attendees for the Leadership Summit itself on Wednesday 6 August. We are particularly happy that we have a strong contingent of attendees representing First Nations organisations and small not-for-profits, thanks to our scholarships.

We are delighted to launch our Statement of Intent for diversity of representation at the Summit:

“Equity Trustees and Philanthropy Australia are working together to increase diversity of representation at the Philanthropy Leadership Summit. Both organisations have a shared commitment to ensuring delegates are hearing from diverse leaders, including smaller not-for-profit and First Nations organisations. To achieve this, scholarships have created speaking opportunities and audience places for people from under-represented groups. These places have been funded through Equity Trustees’ Equity and Empowerment Program as well as through support from Minderoo Foundation and Philanthropy Australia’s Board and staff.”
