The QLD Places Network is excited to partner with Funders to bring Network members a practical learning series designed to assist QLD Places Network members to better understand how philanthropy works and how to engage with them more effectively. All network members are welcome from remote, regional and urban communities. These sessions will unpack what funders look for, how decisions are made, and how best to position your work with clarity and confidence.

Hear directly from funders and gain practical tips on how to prepare and build strong partnerships, become discoverable, and find the right opportunities for your initiative.

The series will also highlight some of the more technical sides to funding arrangements, exploring various structures, processes and systems so that you are informed on all the options to be able to attract funding.

Funders will also share from a QLD perspective how they are collaborating across organisations, testing new ways of working, and building a shared understanding of what meaningful partnership looks like in practice. It’s an opportunity to hear how funders themselves are evolving—learning alongside each other and with communities to better support place-based work.

The series will round out with mastering applications.
