In 2024, leading Australian philanthropic trusts and foundations joined forces to launch Australia’s first collective open tender competition to find the nation’s best mission-aligned, responsible and impact investment advisors.

In March 2025, we crowned our winners at our Grand Finale event, but the real work has only just begun to transform how Australian trusts and foundations invest their assets.

Our soon-to-be-published State of the Sector report offers guidance for the road ahead. We’ll also be sharing our stories here as we embark on our shift towards mission-aligned, responsible and impact investment, serving as an ongoing resource for Australia’s philanthropic sector.

To learn along with us — and stay abreast of future competitions — follow the Challenge and sign up for updates below.

“If you receive professional investment advice, if you provide professional investment advice, if you care about the ways in which capital impacts our environment, communities and future, there’s something here for you.”
