AIIW Philanthropy Connects Lounge | Women Deliver 2026

A private space to gather, connect and recharge.

Australians Investing in Women's 'Philanthropy Connects Lounge', supported by Philanthropy Australia, is a space for meaningful conversations, relationship-building and shared learning among global leaders in gender equality.

Designed as both a meeting place and a moment of pause within the conference, it offers space for informal exchange, strategic dialogue and quiet reflection.

Join us throughout the conference to connect, retreat and discuss emerging insights and learnings from philanthropic leaders across the globe to accelerate progress on gender equality.

This is a dedicated space for funders and investors, bringing together global leaders in a setting designed to foster connection, deepen collaboration and support more aligned, impactful giving.

You do not need a Women Deliver Ticket to join us.

Successful registration is subject to host approval.

Eligibility

Colleagues and friends who are donors, investors or staff from philanthropic institutions are welcome to join us at the AIIW Philanthropy Connects Lounge.

The space is limited and our primary purpose is to foster connections between individuals who are primarily funders or investors from Australia and those visiting from around the world.

Participants are limited to those funders and investors who are set up primarily as grantmakers or investors, not grantseekers or fundraisers. 

If you are primarily a grantseeker, or re-granting organisation or foundation (even if you have a grants program), please enjoy the spaces at the Women Deliver Conference and we will see you there!
