The conduit between wealth and impact—helping funders and charities create meaningful, systemic change.
At Equitable Philanthropy, we believe that when funders give strategically and charities are truly funder-ready, impact accelerates. In 2025, we supported charities across Australia to diversify income, strengthen cases for support, and engage with funders in authentic, values-aligned ways. We also advised families and foundations to identify genuine change-makers and structure their giving for long-term, multiplier effects.
A core part of our 1% commitment is sector capacity-building. This year alone, we delivered hundreds of pro-bono training hours through the Institute of Community Directors Australia, Pressroom Philanthropy’s podcast, Fundraising & Philanthropy (F&P) conferences, The Education Network’s national conferences, and Matchmore’s event program — all focused on lifting capability across the social impact ecosystem.
We don’t just move money. We build the bridge that helps it reach where it can create the most good.
