Effective giving combines the head and the heart in order to do the most good possible with our charitable donations. Philanthropy has been on the mind of Australians in 2024; the Productivity Commission published the findings of its inquiry into philanthropy in July 2024. But how has effective giving fared in the current economic climate?
What does it mean to be effective — given that available evidence and global priorities are always changing?
And how can individual donors and corporations pursue effective giving according to their values and opportunities to give?

Join us for an evening discussion about the state of effective giving with our panel:
- Joshua Ross, co-CEO and co-founder of Humanitix
- Louise Pfeiffer, Regional Director of The Life You Can Save
- Jack Rafferty, current Philanthropy Consultant at Giving Green and co-founder of the Lead Exposure Elimination Project
Joe Walker will be hosting the discussion. Joe is the host of the Joe Walker Podcast, which focuses on in-depth conversations with founders, scientists and scholars. Recent interviews include Nassim Taleb, Larry Summers, and Lucy Turnbull.
The talk will begin at 6:30pm. Doors open at 5:30pm for light, plant-based, refreshments.
