Leaders, including BP's Rachael Risucci and the Royal Flying Doctor Service Western Operations' Judith Barker, have signed up to fundraise for people in need through a debut Perth event.
Our weekly appointments wrap includes Richard McLeod, Debra Sayce, Wayne Bull, Mark Barnaba, John Gelavis, Brad Royce, Fiona Wood, Don Pyke, Ronni Kahn and James Goth.
The federal government will provide $100 million to more than 300 charities, Minderoo Foundation committed $5 million to community initiatives, and Gina Rinehart donated $6 million to the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia over the weekend to help charities meet increased demand.
SPECIAL REPORT: Western Australia's 10 largest philanthropic foundations distributed $65 million last year, but like many charities, some of these organisations are increasingly targeting individual supporters to offset rising fundraising costs.
