The Organisations Council is a forum for leaders of the philanthropy sector to come together and discuss collectively how their organisations can support growth in philanthropy. Our members meet quarterly to share information, form collaborations and support projects that will enhance the reach and effectiveness of philanthropy.
The Organisations Council has a Strategic Communications’ sub-group formed of the communications experts from the partner organisations who discuss how to amplify each other’s messages and to create strategic campaigns that benefit all.
