If you need to raise money for a charity or community group...
...or to invest your organisation’s money in community endeavours or events...
...if you ask for money or are asked for money...
...then this event is perfect for you.

We have two amazing speakers who are going to take us through sponsorship vs. community investment – how they work, how they are different and what opportunities exist for you right now. As a corporate are you getting the best return for your sponsorship or community investment spend? As a nonprofit organisation is community investment or sponsorship more relevant for your organisation? As a PR or marketing practitioner, what relationships would be best for your clients?

Phil Hayes-St Clair

Chief Executive Officer, HSC & Company

Originally from Brisbane but now based in Sydney, Phil Hayes-St Clair designed and built HSC & Company to work with clients to address the alignment of community investment to their core business strategies. He is also responsible to creating HSC & Company PRIVATE CLIENTS, a boutique philanthropy advisory that supports individuals and families.  Twice nominated for Australian of the Year for his philanthropic contributions, Phil founded Suncorp’s Ride 4 Research charity bike ride program which delivered over $580,000 in two years for the Queensland Institute of Medical Research. Prior to this Phil represented Australia on the men’s Triathlon team, so his nomination was a tribute to his love of sport and dedication to charitable endeavors.

Specialising corporate strategy, community investment strategy, change management, service design, program leadership, customer value attribution, Phil has consulted to a variety of organisations.

"Our business has two key priorities. The first involves helping businesses across a variety of sectors to establish an effective corporate community investment portfolio with their organisational strategy.  The second priority is to influence debate relating to changes in legislation affecting the Third Sector and its benefactors. It is imperative that public policy provides a suitable framework in which donors, foundations and charities can operate. This will ensure the future Third Sector is more efficient, prosperous and effective in delivering social impact."

Testimonials

"Phil and I had the pleasure of working together for a period of 4 months. During this time Phil demonstrated his abilities as a strategic thinker and thought leader. He was responsible for bringing together a high calibre team to solve complex problems and was able to deliver quality results. Phil went on to establish a successful community investment strategy and an adjoining private client business that fosters individual and family philanthropy, another example of Phil's vision and commercial fortitude."
Victoria Sherwood, Principal, Booz & Company

“Phil is providing professional intermediary services which enable the business and not-for-profit sectors to work together better than at present. This is an area in need of greater attention and Phil's forward looking and enthusiastic approach will provide innovative solutions to this important work.”
Dennis Trewin, Former Australian Statistician, Australian Bureau of Statistics
