Giving to the Centre
At the Centre, we understand your desire to make a difference and invite you to invest in our projects. By investing in the work of the Centre, you have a unique opportunity to contribute to developing future leaders from all sectors who are well prepared for the many challenges our organisations and our communities face.
The Melbourne Business School has been educating leaders for many years, and the new Asia Pacific Centre for Leadership for Social Impact provides an opportunity for the School to educate leaders from groups under-represented in business, or for whom access to high quality development opportunities is denied. The Centre also provides a focus on emerging leadership issues, such as sustainability. The Centre has a dedicated team of professionals experienced in producing high quality research, education and development. As a part of the University of Melbourne, we enjoy access to the best researchers and teachers in the world.
Our objectives are clear, to create leadership for a better future. Our target is to raise the capital which will enable us to create research and educational opportunities that sustainably benefit the broadest community.
We invite you to invest in what we believe is a unique opportunity to make a positive impact on building leadership capability across all sectors, and in doing so contribute to building civil society. In making your investment, you will be joining with an illustrious group already making a commitment to the Centre. The Helen Macpherson Smith Trust has part-funded a Chair of Third Sector Leadership, and our EMBA Class of 2003 is building an endowment of $500,000.
