This forum is designed to elevate philanthropy beyond traditional giving, building a resilient ecosystem where social impact is managed with the same rigour as a blue-chip investment.

This is where wealth meets strategy, turning goodwill into measurable social impact. By aligning the long-term objectives of significant donors with the foundational needs of Not-for-Profit (NFP) leaders, a practical Roadmap for Change can deliver lasting outcomes.

Who Should Participate:

This forum caters to wealth creators, stewarding generations, and social sector leaders, fostering partnerships grounded in mutual accountability, transparency, and professionalisation.

Program Outline

Morning Sessions:
Strategy for Significant Donors (PWN Members & select guests only)

Confidential sessions tailored for individuals and families managing substantial private wealth, focused on strategic alignment, risk management, and legacy planning.

Key Takeaways:

  • Define Your Purpose: Move from goodwill to a formal Family Charter. Align multi-generational values, ensure wealth passes down with a clear mission, and establish an Investment Policy Statement that reflects your family identity.
  • Maximise Capital through Innovation: Explore blended finance to amplify your impact. Use philanthropic funds as catalytic capital to de-risk investments, mobilising five to ten times more private investment for social initiatives.

Afternoon Sessions:
Collaborative Solutions (Joint sessions with Not-for-Profit Leaders)

These interactive sessions unite investors and NFP leaders to bridge the gap between financial oversight and social delivery.

Focus Areas:

  • Ending the "Starvation Cycle": Challenge the “Overhead Myth” that low administrative costs equal efficiency. While average NFP overheads are 33%, they are typically funded at only 10–20%. Learn how fully funding operational costs ensures long-term organisational stability.
  • Trust-Based Philanthropy: Shift from output-based to outcome-focused giving. Multi-year, unrestricted funding empowers NFP leaders to deploy their expertise where it makes the greatest change.
Meaningful Peer Exchange and Connection

PWN’s Impact Capital Forum: The Business of Philanthropy is designed for both significant donors and NFP leaders, offering rare opportunities for candid dialogue, shared learning, and collaboration. Sessions encourage open discussion, challenge traditional approaches to giving, and foster meaningful connections between PWN Members, families, and social sector leaders.
