Changemakers! I’m thrilled to be presenting at the F&P (Fundraising & Philanthropy) Big4 conference in Melbourne on 31 October. The conference covers the Big 4 income generating opportunities: Major Gifts, Grants, Gifts in Wills and Corporate Partnerships. My session will explore the 4 purses that you can tap into for resources, and why each purse has a different motivation for partnering with a non profit. I’m joined by Coles Group who will share the story of their incredible Mums Sause product that’s raised millions of dollars for Hospitals United For Sick Kids and Chobani Australia who will share their partnership with Foodbank Victoria. This will lead into a juicy 20 minute Q&A. It’s rare to have the opportunity to ask a corporate executive those burning questions so grab your ticket now! Lots of other great speakers on the day as well. Including Berry Street talking about their partnership with The Good Guys and RFDS and Rio Tinto. If you have a burning question you’d like me to include, I’m all ears! Early bird saving still available.

Fundraising ethics is a complex thing. 🤔 You might say it’s mainly about adhering to codes of practice (which you’d be forgiven for thinking, because that’s often how fundraising ethics is presented). Codes, though, can’t cover every ethical dilemma a fundraiser might encounter, and there’s many gaps, grey areas and much ambiguity. What you cannot do, is fill those gaps by falling back on ‘gut feel’ to determine the right course of action. How do we know this? Because Ian MacQuillin MCIOF(Dip) told us. Ian is one of the world’s leading thinkers on fundraising ethics & director of UK’s Rogare - The Fundraising Think Tank. We're excited to be able to spend face to face time with Ian and unpack the many shades of grey in ethics. He’s in Australia (Melbourne) for a short time only (one day – next Monday) and for one reason (speaking at The Fundraising Nest, Nest Fest Down Under). Why don’t you join us?

Our students are working their way through Module 3 - Prospects List, where they identify potential companies and brands that could make great partners. Partners based on synergy - with your organisation's brand, audience, geographic reach and so on. Next month, we're hosting a half day workshop in partnership with Fundraising Nest that teaches this process! If you'd like to learn a fresh, proactive way of approaching prospects rather than submitting proposals to random suspects or worse still, people that your board members simply know, visit this website and register your seat today 👉 https://lnkd.in/gMU8TzhD
