Our Partners
Leadership Victoria gratefully acknowledges the contribution of our many partners. Their valuable support for our vision and purpose makes a true difference in our efforts to equip and inspire leaders to build an inclusive, equitable and sustainable Victoria. In particular, they make it possible for leaders from marginalised communities to access adaptive leadership development, either individually (through scholarships), or as part of programs designed to uplift the capability, connection and impact of leaders from specific communities or sectors.
We are also very appreciative of the support we are currently receiving from the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust, the Hugh D.T. Williamson Foundation, and the Menzies Leadership Foundation, for a 3-year Citizen Leadership Project aimed at building a more cohesive and impactful purpose-driven leadership ecosystem across Victoria, in collaboration with the Regional Leadership Collective.
LV embraces partnership with government, philanthropic and private sector organisations with an interest in purpose-driven leadership for an inclusive, equitable and sustainable world. If you're interested in opportunities to build the impact of leaders from marginalised communities, and/or to support LV Alumni-led projects to strengthen communities and tackle society’s complex and systemic problems, please contact us at ceo@leadershipvictoria.org or make a tax-deductible donation. Our parallel LV Foundation has DGR1 status, allowing grants from PAFs, trusts and foundations.
Scholarship Partners
Leadership scholarships provide life-changing opportunities to emerging and established leaders from marginalised communities to undertake high-calibre personal and professional development. It’s not just about the individual – our scholarship recipients utilise their leadership skills for the ongoing benefit of their organisations and communities and ensures more mainstream leaders gain exposure to diverse perspectives. We are very grateful for all the donations and grants that support full and partial scholarships. To more information about providing philanthropic support click here.

Philanthropic Partners
Leadership Victoria and the Regional Leadership Collective are currently collaborating on the Citizen Leadership Project, with generous financial and strategic support from the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust, the Hugh D.T. Williamson Foundation, and the Menzies Leadership Foundation. The project will forge a cohesive and evidence-based approach to building for-purpose leadership capability across Victoria, and inspiring and supporting leaders to contribute individually and collectively to their communities. The project has both a place-based and statewide focus.
As part of this project, the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust is also supporting five series of a new Future Impact Community Leadership Program, to build the capability and connection of leaders who live and/or work in the peri-urban areas of Melbourne, to equip and inspire them have greater impact in their communities.
Program Partners
Leadership Victoria collaborates closely with organisations to develop programs for specific cohorts of leaders – for professional development of in-house teams, in line with organisational needs and capability frameworks, or for leaders from specific communities or sectors. We can adapt our existing core programs, or tailor / co-design new programs.

Recent initiatives include an immersive 7-day Rural Women’s Leadership and Mentoring Program for Agriculture Victoria, seven series of a 6-day Lead & Adapt Program for 150+ leaders across the family violence and sexual assault services sectors for peak body Safe + Equal, and a 3-day Shared Challenge program for 75 leaders from Melbourne University’s newly formed School of Agriculture, Food and Ecosystem Sciences (SAFES).
