Welcome to your August Insights issue.
The Australian Productivity Commission's recent report on philanthropy reform has sparked significant discussions across our sector. With its ambitious recommendations, we could be witnessing the dawn of a new era in philanthropy that may reshape our approach to advancement as we know it. In this issue, I share my thoughts on what these reforms could mean for the future of our work.
This month, we’re also focusing on the power of alumni and donor storytelling - an often underutilised tool for deepening connections and inspiring future generations. Our tips can help you foster a stronger supporter community and boost your institution’s reputation.
Additionally, this month we’re offering a special short course on creating a compelling enrolment prospectus. This course is designed for education marketers eager to elevate their enrolment efforts and make a lasting impact.
Finally, be sure to check out our featured resources, including a guide on grassroots fundraising strategies, and discover how our DevelopmentPro Growth Framework can transform your institution's future.
Thank you for being part of our journey in advancing education. Your commitment makes all the difference!

August Advancement Tip: Engage Supporters Through Storytelling
This month, focus on deepening connections with your alumni and donors by highlighting their stories. Share their successes, challenges, and the impact they’ve made since graduating. Personal stories not only foster a stronger supporter community but also inspire current students and prospects.
Featuring these stories in your marketing efforts can also showcase the long-term value of your institution, helping to attract prospective students and boost enrolment.
