This panel brings together leaders from wealth management, private and public ancillary funds, collective giving and Philanthropy Australia to explore the forces reshaping philanthropy and the future of funding partnerships.

Attendees will learn how intergenerational wealth transfer is influencing donor behaviour, what different philanthropic vehicles prioritise and why clear evidence of impact is increasingly essential. Panellists will share practical approaches for gaining attention, strengthening engagement and building strategic, long-term relationships with funders.

Drawing on perspectives from across the funding ecosystem, the session will also highlight effective practices, common mistakes and honest lessons about what fails to connect. Fundraisers will leave with a clearer understanding of how to position their organisations for the next era of giving.
