Fundraising, Philanthropy & Advocacy  Inspiring Generosity: Encouraging Greater Giving for Purpose and Impact

In today’s rapidly changing landscape, Catholic organisations face new opportunities and challenges in engaging donors and inspiring generosity. How can we build deeper trust, expand our reach, and deliver on our mission with greater impact?

This CDF workshop brings together leaders, innovators, and changemakers from across Catholic organisations and the for-purpose sector to explore the future of fundraising, philanthropy, and advocacy. With an opportunity to listen to guest speakers and share experiences, discover how generosity and purpose can work together to transform communities for the greater good.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Giving trends today: What the latest data and philanthropy reports reveal about changes in demographics and donor behaviour
  • The power of strategy: Unpacking the knowledge, systems and tools that help drive greater campaign engagement
  • Artificial intelligence in fundraising: Navigating the technology transformation changing the way we give
  • Collaboration & shared wisdom: Sharing experiences and campaigns — successes, challenges, and creative approaches that are helping strengthen relationships, inspire generosity, and create lasting impact within their communities.

Who Should Attend:

This workshop is designed for professionals and leaders across the Catholic, for-purpose, mission-focused, and not-for-profit sectors who are passionate about growing a culture of generosity and impact.

It will be of particular interest to:

  • Fundraising, philanthropy, and development professionals
  • Marketing, communications, and community engagement specialists
  • Executives and board members of charities, schools, and social-service organisations
  • Leaders from Catholic, faith-based, and community-driven organisations seeking new approaches to purpose-led fundraising

Venue: Australian Catholic University (22-24 Brunswick St, Fitzroy 3065)
