Fundraising Institute of Australia – further education scholarships & Young Fundraiser of the Year Award.
Perpetual has an ongoing partnership with Fundraising Institute of Australia (FIA) to support the capacity of the Not-for-Profit sector. In FY25, through Perpetual Foundation’s Trustees Endowment, we supported 16 scholarships for the further education of professional fundraisers at all career stages for study in both FIA’s diploma and certificate courses. Congratulations to all recipients and thank for your dedication to your profession.
In addition to these scholarships, Perpetual was proud to sponsor the Young Fundraiser of the Year Award. The Young Fundraiser of the Year Award rewards a fundraiser aged 30 years or younger who has made a significant contribution to fundraising and shown consistent excellence through their actions, leadership, and intellect. Shannon Haggerty from WA was the 2025 awardee. With a background in Trusts and Foundations, Shannon brings invaluable experience and commitment to her profession as part of the Harry Perkins Institute team. Congratulations Shannon!
