Program

Australia is on the brink of a historic intergenerational wealth transfer, with over 65% expected to be inherited by women—placing them at the forefront of future philanthropy. This workshop explores how the next generation of wealth holders might reshape giving: What values guide their decisions and how do their approaches differ? With such a transformative transfer underway, understanding these emerging dynamics is vital. Join the Australian Environmental Grantmakers Network to unpack the opportunities and challenges this shift presents, and considerations for environmental NGOs. 

What we’ll cover: 

• Building a fundraising strategy that fits your mission and capacity 
• Telling your story in a way that inspires action 
• Understanding different funding sources (grants, philanthropy, donors, sponsorship) 
• Tips for applying for grants and writing stronger proposals 
• Creating simple, realistic fundraising plans for small teams 

Who it’s for:

This session is ideal for staff, volunteers, or board members from environmental, community, or grassroots organisations – especially those with limited resources or fundraising experience. 

What you’ll leave with: 

• A clearer understanding of how to approach fundraising 
• Practical tools and templates you can use immediately 
• Inspiration and peer support from others working on similar challenges 

Bring your questions, your ideas, and your challenges – we’ll work through them together.
