What ‘core beliefs’ do funders sometimes hold that might constrain their philanthropic impact?

How frequently do we question our assumptions about charitable giving?

This insightful webinar explores the seven most common philanthropic funder misconceptions that can derail even the most well-intentioned charitable giving. Hosted by Kate Stone, Head of Philanthropic Giving at Australian Philanthropic Services (APS), you’ll hear from Jon Stretch, Chair Blueshore Charitable Trust and Lucy Steggles, Head of Major Gifts & Philanthropy, batyr and Executive Officer, Nexus Australia as they discuss ‘limiting beliefs’ often held by givers and strategies for avoiding them.

Key points explored:

• Size of donation is what matters most
• It’s hubris to talk about my giving
• If the charity’s communication is poor, I’m out the door
• Cash is king in the social economy
• If they can’t measure it, they can’t manage it
• I only fund direct service delivery
• Setting up a charity is a good way for me to give
