This week, Jo Malone returns to talk about philanthropy and fundraising. Jo has been working in fundraising for the past couple of decades and has a wealth of knowledge. She is donor and relationship focused in her approach and it has brought her a lot of success.

This week’s conversation is wide ranging and talks about philanthropy both from the side of the fundraiser and the side of the donor. We talk about bequests, and making gifts in your will.

There’s lots in there for all types - even if you’ve never donated before!

Also - Jo was awarded a Creative Australia Award in 2024 for her work in philanthropy in the arts in Australia. Go mum!
