About Summit
What is the history of Summit?
Now in its tenth year, Philanthropy Australia’s biennial Summit has been a major thought leadership event. First held in 2015, as the Philanthropy Meets Parliament Summit, it has helped to build a stronger relationship between philanthropy, our elected representatives and policy makers.
Program
Philanthropy Australia is currently working on program content and format, with input from a small group of external advisors. More details of the program and speakers will be available over the coming weeks.

Expression of Interest
What is the EOI process?
Engage members, connect members and non-members will need to complete an EOI form to apply to attend the Leadership Summit. This will ensure we have a diverse mix of participants from varying backgrounds. Once the EOI process has closed, an internal committee will review the applications and confirm who is eligible.
Scholarships
We have a limited number of scholarships available for First Nations leaders and leaders from small not-for-profit organisations.
The scholarship will cover the price of the 1-day Philanthropy Leadership Summit pass (Wednesday 6 August) only. The Pre-Summit Dinner, half-day Funder Roundtables and other expenses such as travel and accommodation are not included in the scholarship.
Anyone wanting to apply for a scholarship will need to complete the EOI form and indicate if they are interested in applying.
