Beyond Fundraising: Embedding Philanthropy into Organisational Culture
Philanthropy is more than just fundraising; it’s about cultivating a culture where giving, gratitude, and engagement are integral to everyday practice. When philanthropy is woven into organisational life, staff, volunteers, leaders, and supporters all see themselves as partners in achieving purpose.
This workshop explores what it takes to move beyond transactional fundraising and create a sustainable, purpose-driven culture of giving. Through practical strategies, real-world examples, and guided discussions, you’ll gain the tools to inspire participation, strengthen internal buy-in, and embed philanthropy as a shared responsibility across your organisation.
