Overview
The Philanthropy Australia QLD team warmly invites you to join our next QLD Funders Peer Network meeting.
This session will be hosted by Perpetual, who will share a decade of insights from their IMPACT Philanthropy Application Program. Their analysis covers sectors across the country, with particular attention to trends specific to Queensland during this period.
Following the presentation, we look forward to a thought-provoking discussion where attendees can share their perspectives on the data, explore whether it aligns with their own experiences, and discuss emerging trends they are observing—particularly how these insights might influence decision-making.
