Save the date: Philanthropy Meets Parliament Summit

Where: Canberra, ACT

When: Tuesday 24 October

Now is an exciting time for philanthropy in Australia. The Government has pledged to work with the philanthropic, not-for-profit and business sectors to develop a Strategy to Double Giving to Charity by 2030. Politicians from all sides of the Parliament are turning their attention to how they can help foster a more generous and giving Australia.

Philanthropy Australia is continuing to work to arrange great speakers and topics for the Summit and we’ll have more to announce – including a full program – in the months ahead.

Please save the date. General registrations will open on 30 June 2023.
