Date: Thursday 20 November 2025 
Time: 12:00pm – 1:00pm AEDT 

If you’re leading social impact work, you already know the landscape is shifting — fast. Climate, inequality, AI, funding pressures, measurement fatigue. The challenges are real, but so is the momentum building around new ways of thinking and working. 

The 2025 State of Social Impact Report brings together the signals, stories and strategies that are shaping the sector right now.  

At this free virtual event, we’ll launch the ImpactInstitute 2025 State of SocialImpact Report and hear from special guest and collaborator Cressida Gaukroger, as we explore: 

• Three nation-shaping trends influencing impact work across sectors  
• How organisations are shifting from crisis response to systems change  
• What’s emerging in impact measurement, funding, and leadership  

Whether you’re leading strategy, delivering programs, or influencing policy, this session will help you sharpen your focus, challenge assumptions, and contribute to the conversations shaping the future of our sector.
