Roxy Kavanagh is the head of fundraising with The Song Room, a founding committee member of the Australian Philanthropy Network, and a state committee member with the Fundraising Institute of Australia (Victoria). Formerly director of development with the Australian Youth Orchestra, she has held roles with RSPCA (Victoria), The Australian Ballet, Orchestra Victoria, Opera Australia, and Griffith University. 

She has led endowment and major gifts programmes that amplify the connection between beneficiaries who will go onto shape the world in which we live, and the people who make it possible. Kavanagh's commitment to philanthropy is powered by her combined past experience as a professional musician, educator, and recipient of the life-changing impact of enriching arts and educational opportunities.

Participating in APIEF in 2020 was the highlight of her year and was made possible through the generosity of Creative Partnerships Australia.
