Philanthropy 101

In this workshop you will gain: a social and historical overview of philanthropy; highlights of what is unique about Australian grant-making; insights into giving structures, statistics and trends; and be given key resources.

Philanthropy 101 workshops are also a great opportunity for those new to the sector to understand where they fit in, to envisage their own organisation in the context of the wider sector, and to meet fellow philanthropists and grant makers.

This workshop is ideal as part of any trustee induction process.
