LEAF Network Membership EoI

About LEAF Network

The Learning & Evaluation for Australian Funders (LEAF) Network, formerly Phil Eval Network, has been piloting a range of exciting learning activities and we welcome everyone who meets the Membership Eligibility Criteria to join the network.

LEAF Network designs and delivers professional learning programs, resources and events that empower funders to evaluate their impact, sustainability, partner investments, and alignment with their strategy, mission & values.
This is a member driven, peer-led network, purposefully targeted at individuals in organisations that are funding bodies and/or where funding is a principal function of the organisation (e.g. PAF, Trust, Foundation, funder network, others).

Membership eligibility criteria

Members in funding bodies should fulfil one or more of the following roles at their organisation:

• • Be responsible for measurement, evaluation, learning (MEL) or have MEL as part of a broader portfolio they are responsible for
  • Be employed in a role directly responsible for the delivery of MEL activities
  • Conduct or support MEL as part of their role.

Experience level: All knowledge levels from beginner to advanced are encouraged to participate. 

Cost: Membership is currently free. Philanthropy Australia membership is not required to become part of the LEAF Network.

Submit your EoI and we'll be in touch if your application is successful.
