Volunteering is one of the most powerful and rewarding ways you can give, with your time and skills able to change lives just as much as donating money.

This SA Giving Week, hear from some everyday South Australians about why they volunteer their time.

When he first contemplated the idea of starting @ngutucollege, Andrew approached Geoff Day and his Day Family Foundation to ask whether he’d support a music program. The answer was ‘yes,’ and that early commitment quickly became a catalyst for much more.

Andrew, who is now Ngutu’s Head of College, says giving in all its forms, including volunteering, in-kind support, donations and grants, has helped create a special place in Adelaide’s western suburbs for more than 300 young people.

After stepping away from full-time work, Julianne found volunteering with @the_village_co helped restore a sense of routine and confidence.

“You feel worthy again,” she says. “You feel like you still have something to offer, and that what you do actually changes people’s lives.”

Founder of @theresilienceproject__, @hughvancuylenburg, has been talking about empathy for a long time now, and for good reason.

Research tells us everything time we do something kind for someone, like the giving we’re celebrating this SA Giving Week, our brain releases oxytocin - the “feel good” hormone. This has a huge impact on our wellbeing and happiness!

Hugh’s put an idea out to all of us - the next time you’re writing a to-do list, add something you could do for someone else.

Find out how you can do something for someone else, like donating to a charity or volunteering your time, on the SA Giving Week website via the link in our page's bio.

“When communities grow stronger, leadership becomes not a title held by a few, but a capacity shared by many.”

In this wonderful and thoughtful opinion article published by InDaily, @impact100sa Chair Kathryn House AM explores how the leaders that she admires most understand their strengths, values and limits, but consistently re-direct that self-awareness towards something larger than their own advancement.

Ahead of the first-ever SA Giving Week, Kathryn’s words remind us that giving is not simply a financial act, but a mindset.

We’re thrilled that Kathryn will host the ‘Generous South Australians: Impact100 SA Member Event’ event this Thursday night and will present on collective giving at the SA Giving Week Philanthropy Showcase on Friday morning.

“Philanthropy has what we often call risk capital. Governments tend to have working capital, but they generally can’t invest in early-stage or pilot projects. That’s where private giving is so powerful — it bridges the gap between discovery and delivery.”

Ahead of SA Giving Week, Kerry de Lorme, Executive Director of the James & Diana Ramsay Foundation, explains the role of philanthropy in backing medical research and innovation.

Find out more about how the James & Diana Ramsay Foundation was established and why the foundation has quietly backed bioinformatics research at SAHMRI for more than a decade by reading the 'Giving stories' at the link in our page's bio.

Join us during SA Giving Week as Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Australia launches its latest report, ‘The Future of Giving: How Australia’s Next Generation is Redefining Philanthropy'.

Produced in partnership with @coredatagroup, the report explores how Australia’s next generation of high-net-worth individuals are reshaping philanthropy — as they inherit wealth, step into family governance roles, and build significant wealth of their own.

With key insights from the report and a panel discussion with leading philanthropists, this event is designed for:

- funders & philanthropists
- next generation family members and emerging givers
- family offices & private wealth advisers
- financial advisers, lawyers and accountants supporting philanthropic clients
- purpose driven business leaders
- not-for-profit leaders interested in engaging the next generation of donors

Held at 10am on Wednesday 6 May, register for this FREE event now via the link in our page's bio.
