A Letter To Your Boss
As a fundraiser working in the philanthropy space, I am very excited by every single session happening at Trusts and Major Donors 2024.

5 Ways Fundraisers Can Get Their Co-Workers Interested In Fundraising
Fundraising challenges come at you from all directions.
Sometimes the most disheartening and difficult challenge is the resistance you might receive from your co-workers.

Look around the staff meeting…are you the only fundraiser?
It doesn’t have to be us and them.

Engagement actions: build relationships and boost giving
It’s easy to get caught up in our organisation’s needs when talking to supporters. Please give us money, please support our campaign. But to develop a strong, deep and long lasting relationship, we need to consider supporters’ needs too.
Yes, that absolutely means you should be sending loyalty emails to show how their support is making a difference. For example, how you spent their money or how they contributed to a campaign win. But you shouldn’t stop there. So what’s one simple, yet really effective, thing that could take your supporter experiences and relationships to the next level? Engagement actions.

Green Light Sites Origin Story
I have always really enjoyed collaborating with others, be it the many bands I started as a
teenager, group research projects at university, co-op gaming online in the evenings or
building a career in face to face fundraising - give me people, and I am happy. Having the
confidence to try something new isn’t always easy, but the best punt I ever took was
knocking on a stranger’s door, aged 21, and saying “Hello, have you got a moment to talk?”
I immediately fell in love with fundraising; the incredible causes I was able to represent, the inspiring impact of each conversation I had, the soft skills I was rapidly developing without even noticing. All this immeasurably built my confidence both professionally and personally. Of course, more than anything, I stuck with fundraising for the incredible people who gave me these opportunities and put their all into doing a very difficult yet vital job every day.

Why Wellbeing Should Be at the Heart of Strategy, All Year Round
Most of us are all too aware of stress. Fundraisers are part of a charity ecosystem that has never had a greater need to innovate, adapt, and deliver. We need to ‘do more, with less’. We need to be ‘resilient’. Many fundraisers need to be and do that with little support and development, within existing, or dwindling resources, whilst facing structural discrimination, inequality, or harassment, and in the context of difficult workplace relationships. To solve the challenges that we face, we need to be at our best, able to look up and out with confidence to see opportunities on the horizon.

Cross Sector Collaboration Is How We Win
In a world and sector in crisis, the cost of living surge bears down on society and charities, especially smaller ones, which face closure. Despite our efforts, we grapple within the confines of our own systems. The call for collaborative systemic change remains largely unanswered, leaving dedicated individuals to shoulder this colossal burden. It's time to align our actions with our asks, fostering cross-sector collaboration and putting partnership at the heart of every strategy. This is how we ignite the spark for collective progress.

Ethical Storytelling - 10 tips
When charities share the stories of those they support, we capture people in a particular set of circumstances: circumstances that, given the nature of our work, we hope will quickly change for the better. We reduce them to the challenge they are facing. We trap them in time. As a sector, we are starting to acknowledge the damage we do when we treat people’s stories as our property. So how do we change course?

Fundraising Through An Economic & Political Catastrophe
When there is less to go around and more people to help, it’s difficult not to feel like the work we do as fundraisers is nothing more than a sticking plaster. And not even a good waterproof sticking plaster with a fun cartoon character on it. I’m talking one of those useless sticking plasters which peels off at the first sign of a single bead of sweat.
