If you’re a family, individual or organisation looking to begin or expand your philanthropic endeavours, you’ve come to the right place.
The SA Philanthropy Network’s mission is to inspire a culture of generosity across South Australia by equipping individuals and organisations with the knowledge, connections and resources they need to start giving and amplify their impact.
Through a series of informative and engaging networking events, we cover a wide range of topics that modern-day philanthropists and not-for-profit organisations encounter.
Large or small, new or long-established, we welcome all of South Australia’s philanthropic minds to build a spirit of giving and connect for positive change.
Let’s Connect
At the heart of our network lies a straightforward mission: Network, Connect, Advocate.
Network
We bring together a diverse range of individuals and organisations through individual meetings and network events. By fostering these connections, we aim to facilitate impactful collaborations to unlock new funding opportunities.
Connect
We connect like-minded people and organisations to the causes they are passionate about and the resources that enable them to maximise their giving. We believe in the power of shared purpose and the opportunity to enable these meaningful connections.
Advocate
We strongly advocate for South Australia’s growing philanthropic sector and encourage a spirit of giving. Our goal is to inspire and cultivate a new generation of philanthropists, ensuring a brighter future for our community.
Philanthropy, noun from Greek philanthrōpía love of humanity

Much of the Network's focus involves meeting with individuals and organisations to connect them to the people, causes, and resources they need to maximise their impact. Beyond these one-on-one interactions, the Network is committed to offering a variety of informative and engaging networking events.
Our guest speakers are drawn from local and global community leaders, and influential figures from business and government. Each event will offer a launchpad for networking, collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Specific events will be tailored to cater to the needs of:
Individuals, families and family foundations
Corporate philanthropists and sponsors
Not-for-profit organisations
We're working on a new digital funding platform to connect philanthropists with not-for-profit organisations.
This one-stop platform will enable fund seekers to easily discover funding opportunities and funders to browse and connect with projects that align with their values.
If you’re a South Australian charity with DGR status looking for project funding, please register your interest using the link below and we will get in touch with you once the portal is live and ready to accept applications.
