Beyond the Ask: Building Trust, Participation and Philanthropy at Institutional Scale
11:15 AM - 12:15 PM AEST (UTC+10:00)
Speaker(s): Kamyra Laurenson, Director, Development, The University of Western Australia
Session Description: In an increasingly complex and scrutinised environment, philanthropy and institutional impact cannot be realised by the ask alone. This session challenges advancement leaders to reconsider the conditions that enable sustainable giving at scale. Through a facilitated, peer-based discussion, we will explore how trust is built and protected, how participation creates momentum, and how leadership shapes both. Participants will leave with a practical lens for aligning people, culture and strategy to support enduring philanthropic outcomes.
