Collaboration Award

Use our awards website to nominate someone for the Collaboration Award.

Nominations are welcomed from Philanthropy Australia members, non-members, supporters and friends of our partner organisations.

The focus of this award is collaboration and contribution to impactful ‘better’ philanthropy. It is open to all members of the Australian philanthropic and broader social change community.

Nominations may be for an individual organisation or a collaboration of funders. You can nominate your own organisation.

Nominations are assessed by the selection panel on the following criteria:

1. Concrete examples of demonstrated collaboration in design, implementation, funding approach provided
2. Uniqueness in the approach or way of working
3. Lessons and good practice have been applied or shared

This Award is for activity occurring in the last five years (2019 – 2023) – this may include design, funding, outcomes, delivery, evaluations or reporting.
