Click here Issue #333 | 24 June 2022 The Great Debate - Charities: co-operation, collaboration and competition At a time of change and reflection, what is the future for our charities? Is the current number of charities sustainable? Has the COVID-19 pandemic changed the charity landscape forever? In this month's Great Debate, Paul Ronalds, from Save The Children Global Ventures and Ray Yoshida, from Hands Off Our Charities alliance discuss the important question: Could charities compete less and co-operate more? NEWSROOMSTORY: Little Phil’s goal to help transform ways of giving It was perhaps only a matter of time before a software platform would come along to help transform not only the security of donating but the broader goal of enabling an 'impact platform’ to become a destination for donors, non-profits and companies. It’s called “Little Phil’’ (Little Philanthropy), and by its own description it’s a micro-philanthropy software platform that is tapping in to blockchain technology. STORY: On the coldest night, a baton is passed for the homeless Across the country on Thursday night, a group of leaders from corporate Australia came together to share the evening, rugged up in layers, with sleeping bags, to raise funds and awareness about homelessness through the Vinnies’ CEO Sleepout. In a Port Melbourne timber yard – the location of the Melbourne Sleepout – there was a metaphorical handing over of the philanthropy baton, from one the Sleepout’s long-term participants – The Gandel Foundation CEO Vedran Drakulic OAM – to Australians Investing in Women CEO Julie Reilly OAM. NEWS: Donation to support stroke research A $6million donation to La Trobe University from Brendan McAssey is the latest contribution to the university’s on-going research into a new stroke treatment.

OPPORTUNITIESPwC’s 3rd annual not-for-profit CEO survey Last year, the results of PwC Australia's 2nd annual not-for-profit CEO survey provided unique insights into the thinking of NFP leaders around the country, showing a sector striving to achieve balance between future readiness and coping with the daily disruptions of COVID-19. One year on, in collaboration with PwC New Zealand, PwC’s 3rd annual not-for-profit CEO survey invites NFP leaders to build on this narrative as they seek to understand how the sector is adapting to the ongoing impacts of local and global events, upskilling to operate in the digital and technology world and preparing for the future of work. The survey will be open until Sunday 3 July 2022 and findings will be shared in September 2022. Click here to read more.
