2018 International Philanthropy Award
The International Philanthropy Award honours significant achievements in Australian international philanthropy for grants or impact investment(s) allocated outside of Australia. Through this Award we seek to grow international giving by Australians, and to connect to a community that is interested in using the power of social business and impact investing to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. As with our other Awards, the timeframe for the International Philanthropy Award recognises and celebrates best practice philanthropy across the past five years (for work occurring during the years 2013 – 2017).
Every day, Australian philanthropic organisations stand at the forefront of innovation, exploring creative ways to advance the common good and find solutions for complex issues that challenge society. In that spirit, the awards program recognises philanthropic excellence amongst Australianorganisations and honours their exemplary leadership.
