PAF Governance Workshops
Philanthropy Australia presents a new workshop tailored to donors, directors and trustees of Private Ancillary Funds (PAFs).
Based on our successful Understanding the Governance of Charitable Foundations Seminar, the PAF Governance Workshop explains the new rules governing PAFs (previously known as PPFs), including the Guidelines, relevant legislation, responsibilities of trustees, and transition arrangements.
Presented by David Ward, author of the new Private Ancillary Funds Trustee Handbook, launched on Tuesday 10th November 2009, the workshop will be a great opportunity to engage in conversations around, and ask questions about, the intricacies of governing philanthropic foundations, and PAFs in particular.
The PAF Trustee Handbook is available for free download from the PhilanthropyWiki.
Understanding the Governance of Charitable Foundations - Seminars
This seminar is an exploration of issues and considerations for trustees of charitable trusts and foundations in Australia. Topics to be covered include the structure of charitable trusts, governance and the role trustees play; what trustees must do and what trustees should consider doing; and governance failure.
This seminar is an ideal base for new trustees and foundation staff; useful to those providing advice on setting up foundations and trusts; and an excellent reference document and aide memoire to those already familiar with its subject. This seminar also provides an opportunity for those with significant interaction with foundations and trusts to understand the responsibilities and issues considered by Trustees.
A new trustee handbook on the “Roles and Duties of Trustees of Charitable Trusts and Foundations in Australia” will provide the materials for the seminar. Created in consultation with Philanthropy Australia’s Members, this Trustee Handbook is an essential document for PPFs, Community Foundations, Family Foundations, Charitable Trusts and Ancillary Funds.
The Trustee Handbook is available for free download from the PhilanthropyWiki.
