Join Australian Communities Foundation and The Channel Giving Circle for an evening with Dr. Jason Franklin (US) - W.K. Kellogg Community Philanthropy Chair, Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy, Grand Valley State University. 

To celebrate the announcement of The Channel Giving Circle's Overcoming Isolation grant recipient, an Australian LGBT Community Project, Jason will share his insights on LGBT philanthropy globally, in the US context and in Australia, as well as his philanthropic experience and expertise more broadly. 

Philanthropy in the Pub is for people who are seeking to create social change and explore how to maximise their own personal social impact. The success of our Sydney events, has led us to launch our first Melbourne event and we are very excited!

Philanthropy in the Pub is a place to discover new ways of giving and learn from those who are experienced in philanthropy. The event provides opportunities to network and explore the many facets of engagement and giving for social change.

This event is designed for those who are seeking a personal social conscience/philanthropic journey rather than those who are only working in the philanthropic industry.

Our next session will be around collective giving – the coming together of individuals to jointly fund social change through scaled impact.

Our Q+A style panellists consist of inspiring experts, including: Georgia Mathews, Rikki Andrews, Andrea Heffernan

RSVP HERE.

Join us as we reveal the shortlisted projects that Members will be voting to fund in the Overcoming Isolation grant round! Meet some of our Members and discuss some of the great work that is happening in our community.  As we campaign for marriage equality, we have to support each other as well as the projects we fund! This will be a casual affair with no real formal proceedings - just a chance for you to meet the Channel team and existing Members in your city.

If you want to have your say on where the money goes you will still be able to sign up in time to cast your vote in this round! Join now or come along to learn more.
