Private Ancillary Fund (PAF) Governance Workshop

Philanthropy Australia presents a new workshop tailored to donors, directors and trustees of Private Ancillary Funds (PAFs).

Based on our successful Understanding the Governance of Charitable Foundations Seminar, the PAF Governance Workshop explains the new rules governing PAFs (previously known as PPFs), including the Guidelines, relevant legislation, responsibilities of trustees, and transition arrangements. 

Presented by David Ward, author of the new Private Ancillary Funds Trustee Handbook, launched in November 2009, the workshop is a great opportunity to engage in conversations around, and ask questions about, the intricacies of governing philanthropic foundations, and PAFs in particular.

The PAF Trustee Handbook is available for free download from the PhilanthropyWiki.
