Where is your pulse at?
Hear from our CEO, Professor Kristy Muir on why we need you to complete our new Pulse of the For-Purpose Sector Survey: "Tell us how you’re going, where your pulse is at and what you need so we have the evidence to inform funding, policy and the future we all want to see."

We need your help!
We are calling on CEOs and senior leaders of Australia's charities, NFPs, philanthropic foundations, community groups, social enterprises, and for-purpose organisations (of all sizes). We need 30 minutes of your time to help us keep track of the for-purpose sector on a national level, and over time. We need to better understand this sector and have robust longitudinal data so we can all build back better. Proudly supported by the Paul Ramsay Foundation.
