The Philanthropy NZ Conference

As the Philanthropy New Zealand Conference 2026 comes to a close, we extend our sincere thanks to everyone who joined us.

We are grateful to all those who made the time to attend, and to the colleagues and teams who supported you from home so you could be part of the conversations. In a time of change and growing need across many communities, the conference offered a valuable opportunity to pause, learn from one another, and explore how we can work together to support positive and lasting impact.

Across two days, delegates heard from a wide range of inspiring speakers and participated in thoughtful discussions that explored the evolving landscape of philanthropy in Aotearoa. From plenary sessions and panel conversations to informal networking moments, the programme created space for both reflection and forward thinking.

A heartfelt thank you to our speakers, sponsors, and supporters whose generosity, insights, and support helped shape such a meaningful event. We also acknowledge everyone who worked behind the scenes to bring the conference to life, and the many volunteers and contributors who helped create a welcoming and engaging experience for all.

On behalf of Philanthropy New Zealand, thank you for being part of the 2026 conference. We hope you left feeling connected, inspired, and energised for the important work ahead.
