QLD - ACPNS / FIA Alumni Anniversary Breakfast

Your chance to preview key themes and fundraising messages from the largest ever study on giving and volunteering in Australia!

This year’s ACPNS/FIA Alumni Anniversary Breakfast is not to be missed! The event will focus on Giving Australia 2016, whose findings will be launched officially in December.

This multi-data project, led by ACPNS, the Centre for Social Impact at Swinburne University of Technology and the Centre for Corporate Public Affairs and funded by the Prime Minister’s Community Business Partnership, seeks to understand how, why and how much Australians give and volunteer in 2016 and what this means for the nonprofit and philanthropy sector. Special guest is Angela Perry of the Prime Minister’s Community Business Partnership, and Professor Myles McGregor-Lowndes and Associate Professor Wendy Scaife will discuss key current messages from:

· individuals

· charities

· philanthropists and foundations and

· businesses, large and small

Hear about the gaps, barriers and opportunities revealed, most popular fundraising vehicles and what is top of mind right now for the different giving sources.

fantastic raffle prizes to be won!

Apart from being a fab event, the ACPNS/FIA Alumni Anniversary Breakfast is also a major fundraising opportunity and every cent raised through selling raffle tickets goes towards ACPNS student scholarships and bursaries. These funds are incredibly important as they foster community leaders and build the capacity of the philanthropy and nonprofit sector.

In 2017 we have fewer scholarships to offer our students than in previous years - which is why we need YOUR help! This year we urge you to dig deep and help us raise more funds than ever before.

We have a selection of great prizes including:

§ a luxury five-star getaway

§ dinner at a top Brisbane restaurant

§ theatre tickets

§ Brisbane Wheel tickets

§ a crystal decanter set

§ alcohol

§ catering vouchers

§ mini golf vouchers

Prices start at $10 per ticket.

You can also contribute to the scholarship fund by donating any amount via credit card.

So please give generously this year and support a great cause - and of course bag yourself a fantastic prize at this year’s Alumni Anniversary Breakfast!
