We are pleased to invite you to the AVPN-SVA Venture Philanthropy Roundtable with Andrew Muirhead, Executive Vice Chairman of AVPN and founding CEO of Inspiring Scotland.
Following an initial career in Banking, Andrew has been involved in the Philanthropic sector since 1993 and led Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland as Chief Executive until 2008. He then founded Inspiring Scotland, an innovative venture philanthropy organisation designed and developed in response to the needs of Scotland’s not-for-profit sector. By providing significant long term funding and development support, Inspiring Scotland enables organisations to work towards self-sustainability and deliver maximum impact with a social return. It enjoys wide support from Government, Business, Charitable Trusts and Private Individuals including a number of Scotland’s leading entrepreneurs. Andrew currently leads the Asian Venture Philanthropy Network (AVPN). With more than 180 members from 28 countries, the AVPN has created and continues to grow a diverse network of organisations practicing and supporting venture philanthropy in the Asia Pacific region.
Andrew will share his insights on Inspiring Scotland’s development of innovative programs to support the social sector to scale and to help tackle key social challenges both in the UK and internationally, with a particular emphasis on Asia given his recent experience.
This is an exciting opportunity to learn from Andrew and discuss the future of venture philanthropy in Australia with sector leaders.
Roundtable is via invitation only. Please enquire further with [email protected].
