Paying What It Takes - Workshop 1: Strategy

Strategies to Pay What it Takes

After the successful launch of the Pay What It Takes (PWIT) report from Social Ventures Australia and the Centre for Social Impact, in conjunction with Philanthropy Australia, and with the support of the Paul Ramsay Foundation and the Origin Energy Foundation, we are now focusing on what does it take? What are the lessons from the for purpose field on what strategy, systems and processes enable us to truly pay what it takes to create impact?

Join this Workshop to hear from a variety funders - and their grant partners - at the forefront of PWIT practice. Learn what a difference paying what it takes can make to impact, and help us determine what leaders need to keep doing, stop doing and start doing in order to shift the current funding systems and maximise funding to focus on impact.
