The Australian Philanthropy Awards recognise and celebrate extraordinary achievements in contemporary philanthropy for work that is visionary, high impact and transformative. They also celebrate partnerships between philanthropy and for-purpose organisations and honour those who are working to create lasting, positive change.

Philanthropy has a duty at this time to act and, more importantly, lead. In these very uncertain times, it’s important to recognise and celebrate best practice philanthropy and create a sense of hope – as philanthropy will play a critical role in the response to this unfolding public health emergency and the consequent economic and social implications, alongside the continual recovery from the devastation caused by the bushfires earlier this year.

The relationship between philanthropy and community is an important one, now more than ever, and we would like to highlight this by celebrating the positive community change that has been (and can be) achieved through philanthropic partnership and support.

Nominations for the Australian Philanthropy Awards 2021 are open until 5pm AEST Friday 16 July.
