Philanthropy Australia has been a trusted source of information, advice and networks throughout my career in the arts and NFP sector. Philanthropy Australia has enabled us to connect with peers, resources, partners and funders in ways that has supported Guildhouse to thrive. We have benefited from connecting with thought leaders and best practice advice – I believe that Philanthropy Australia’s work supporting funders and NFPs strengthens the entire ecosystem. We continue to benefit from the resources, professional development and most importantly, the networks. We are working more effectively and strategically with our supporters as a result.

Being an Active Member of Philanthropy Australia provides us with vital opportunities to learn from other foundations, share what we are learning through our partnerships with communities around Australia and to collaborate on important national issues. Being a member for us is a commitment to the collective improvement of Australian philanthropic practice

Our membership forms an important part of our operations, ensuring we are well connected within the philanthropic community, kept up to date on important issues and trends as well as offering valuable support and guidance around our strategic direction and best practice. The staff at Philanthropy Australia have directly assisted us in connecting with potential co-funders, providing us with valuable opportunities for professional development as well as providing guidance and knowledge sharing for use with our stakeholders.

The Wyatt Trust has long been a member of Philanthropy Australia and values the ease with which we can bring a large staff and Board group together on emerging issues via PA’s events. Participating in the building of a vibrant philanthropic sector, with a strong presence across the country, forms part of the value of membership. This is one of the easiest ways to get involved while also benefitting from the knowledge and leadership of our sector friends and colleagues.
