Inspiring Stories of Giving

Stories inspire, explain, and connect us…. they go to the heart of what it means to be human, and how we can work together to achieve positive change. Through telling stories of the important work of giving in this country, we change outdated perceptions of what it means to be philanthropic, and we bring more people into the work of more and better giving in Australia.

Volume 1 of Inspiring Stories of Giving features many stories about philanthropists and philanthropic organisations working with governments to achieve great outcomes. It also included many stories from Victoria and New South Wales.

Volume 2 zooms in on the impact that giving is having for communities around Australia, particularly regional and remote communities – from Western Australia and the Northern Territory through to South Australia, Queensland and the ACT.

Volume 1 was published in October 2023.

Volume 2 was released in early August 2024 at the Philanthropy Australia Conference in Adelaide.
