Academy of Givers launched to improve philanthropy and corporate responsibility

Inspirasia Foundation has collaborated with Gasan Foundation and Nathan Farrugia to found a new platform aimed at improving philanthropy and corporate responsibility efforts in Malta.

The Academy of Givers was launched during an inspirational event which brought businesses, philanthropists, and individuals that want to do good, together with changemakers and organisations with societal and environmental initiatives that are making an impact in Malta. The event included a conference with thought-provoking discussions on purpose, philanthropy and corporate responsibility by local and international experts in the field, as well as an Impact Fair, which saw over 40 voluntary organisations, social initiatives and service providers showcasing their work. The aim was to create dialogue around giving that paves the way for action and change, while also encouraging social purpose organisations to build connections with one another and with the business community present for the conference.

The event also marked the official launch of the Academy of Givers, which aims to create a community of likeminded people to improve philanthropic and corporate responsibility efforts, by providing a platform for individuals and businesses to come together to learn, share and be inspired, while recognising those that are doing good and encouraging collaboration for more impact. Through a membership-based scheme, the Academy of Givers gives access to resources and tools, consultations and proposals, events and international networks, to enable its members to do more good and approach change in the best possible way. Founded by Inspirasia Foundation, Gasan Foundation and Nathan Farrugia, the Academy aims to become a sustainable entity driven by its members. Those that sign up for membership for 2023 will also be offered complimentary membership from September to December this year.

“A refreshing, proactive, and inspiring event. Thank you, Academy of Givers for being the first to provide Malta with a platform for us ALL to engage with the concept of ‘giving well’ and how as a collective ambition, we can bring positive social change” – Attendee of the For Impact event on Monday 27th June.
