Opportunity

We are on the verge of a new dawn in the philanthropic sector in Australia.

The sector has enormous capacity to grow so that it can eventually operate on a meaningful scale, and have the capital be far more effectively deployed to assist governments and for-purpose entities address major issues in our community.

We can:

  • - Get families to give more consideration to how much is enough, a more meaningful use of their ‘surplus’ and the risks of leaving significant income streams to children

  1. - Highlight to families the enormous benefit to the community that a family foundation can be, and the incredible satisfaction that will be gained from it, as well as the extraordinary educational tool it can be for the next generation

  2. - Outline to families what best practice giving looks like

  3. - Better tell successful giving stories, which will lead to more role models, greater interest and more families wishing to get involved

  4. - Learn from the mistakes and successes from offshore, particularly the USA, United Kingdom and Europe where the philanthropic sectors are more mature

  5. - Maximise the opportunities from increased transparency, collaboration and leverage with other stakeholders, including government

And it can be fun! Working with two or three generations of your family, working with smart and passionate for-purpose leaders having a crack at major issues in our community can be immensely satisfying.

Imagine the impact we could have on so many aspects of our community (e.g. early childhood development, medical research, climate change, First Nations people, our fraying democracy, mental health, our neighbours in the Pacific and beyond) if we could inspire thousands of families to strategically share a material part of their wealth?

If you are interested in learning more, and would seek to give away $1 million+ p.a., it would be good to chat.
