Philanthropy and government have come together in what could be the largest ever structured collaboration between the sectors in the country’s history. Formalised this week in Canberra, the Investment Dialogue’s collective aim is to improve the wellbeing of children, young people and their families by working with communities to reduce intergenerational disadvantage in Australia. The initiative is shaping up as an unprecedented, long-term, integrated and community-led approach to supporting children, families and communities to thrive.

As pressure mounts on for-purpose organisations, effective leadership is more critical than ever. The Australian Leadership Hub whose purpose is to develop leaders, is stepping up to deliver what the sector needs most. CEO Louisa Graham writes that after 14 years as the Australian Scholarships Foundation, it has now expanded its activities to offer leadership awards, education programs and events. The hub will also build connections among its partner educators, executives, funders and alumni to foster skills that are crucial for organisations dedicated to creating a better society.

Australians Investing in Women’s State of Gender-Wise Giving Survey is the only one of its kind monitoring gender equity in giving programs. It tracks whether gender plays a role in decision-making, the attitude of decision-makers to applying a gender lens and barriers to measuring gender balance in giving programs. Latest results included responses from 32% of the top 50 corporate donors and 30% of the top 50 philanthropic donors from the AFR Philanthropy 50 List. Key findings include that all corporate and philanthropic respondents were familiar with the concept of gender-wise, gender-balanced or gender-lens investing - an increase from the 2022 pilot survey, where 17% of corporate and 2% of philanthropic respondents were not.

The GivingLarge Report summarises groundbreaking research into the considerable contributions being made to the community by some of Australia's top companies. The research, conducted annually by Strive Philanthropy, analyses the publicly available reports, compiling their disclosed community investment figures in the collation of a unique data set, highlighting corporate Australia’s efforts in this area. Key findings in 2023 show an impressive 15% growth YOY in total contributions by corporates. The report is supported by Philanthropy Australia, Corporate Citizenship and The Wheelton Foundation. Philanthropy Australia hopes its insights inspire more corporates to give and play a leadership role in the national effort to double giving by 2030.
