What’s missing in the picture of philanthropy? The answer is more stories of women’s giving. Figures show women give a greater proportion of their income than men and are set to inherit trillions in family wealth, yet they feature far less in the media and stories the sector itself shares. The She Gives campaign was launched this week to change this. Philanthropy Australia is proud to be a sector partner of She Gives.

Danny Kennedy, CEO of New Energy Nexus and a leading global clean energy investment expert, makes a compelling case that it is time to broaden the focus of environmental philanthropy. In this guest blog, he says that while it has traditionally focused on conservation, wildlife and biodiversity, which are important, now is the critical time to invest in renewable energy start-ups at pace if we have any chance of clawing back global warming to 1.5°C. Danny is a keynote speaker at the Philanthropy Australia Conference.
