FIA ACT

The last week of February 2026 was all about the Fundraising Institute Australia (FIA) National Conference 2026 in Melbourne, where the theme “Impact Amplified” came to life through three days of powerful ideas, bold conversations and inspiring leadership from across the fundraising sector.
The conference brought together fundraisers from Australia, New Zealand and beyond to explore how we can amplify our impact through stronger partnerships, smarter strategies, innovation and creative thinking — all in service of the communities and causes we support. From thought-provoking keynotes to practical sessions and meaningful connections with peers across the sector, the experience was energising and deeply motivating.
We’re excited to bring these insights back to the ACT fundraising community and continue strengthening our sector through collaboration, learning and shared purpose.
A big thank you to Fundraising Institute Australia (FIA) Australia for delivering another outstanding conference.
