Fundraising Nest

The demand for high-quality, personalised print services is growing rapidly, so when it came to purchasing a new print machine, we knew we had to have the best in the market. With the installation of Kyocera’s TASKalfa Pro 15000c, our production capacity has increased, offering greater flexibility and reliability in printing operations while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Our General Manager (and the surprising darling of the camera) Nick explains more in the comments below.

Sometimes I say things that make sense. Sometimes they are even caught on camera! This short from my Fundraising Nest #MavenTime conversation with Michelle Berriman made me smile. As we close out the week, I hope it can bring a smile to you, as well. And maybe, just maybe, it gives you a nudge to write a new story for yourself.

If you've worked with me before, you'll know I'm passionate about #philanthropy and making sure funding opportunities are equitable and easy to access. Our current funding system, as a whole, is neither of those. It's hard to find the right funding opportunities, it's time consuming to make applications and keeping up with I am so excited to be developing a new tool to help combat these challenges alongside Joshua Vial, Rod Macdonald and Alanna Irving. We're building Fundsorter, a product designed to make contestable funding easier. Our tool will discover the right funding opportunities, draft the funding applications, and provide reminders and updates on reporting, opening dates and new funding opportunities that align with organisational aspirations. This is a very practical tool to help reduce the funding burden and support organisations to spend time, energy and pūtea more effectively. We're currently working with a small number of partners to test our prototype and we're hoping to have a product out in the world early next year. We'd love to launch with a bang, so sign up here to get notified when we go live! Or ping me a DM if you have questions :) https://lnkd.in/gQXTajd8 Huge thanks to everyone who has chatted to us about Fundsorter so far! #fundraising #nonprofitleadership #technology #techforgood #fundingburden Philanthropy New Zealand Philanthropy Australia Michelle Berriman Sinead Kirwan Latesha Hearth Cheryl Reynolds Jenny Gill, ONZM Devon Murphy Dr Christina Howard Rahul Watson Govindan Marianne Elliott Hui E!
