Practical Fundraising Skills and Inspiration: 27 August
Fundraisers are the oil in each not-for-profit organisation: without them the organisation can not function very well.
Where do they get the inspiration from to stay on top of their game, and the tips and tricks to be the best they can be, to serve their organisation so its staff can do what they do best?
The Fundraisers Forum, Sowing the Seeds of Love, is a one-day forum designed to inspire, encourage and promote best practice in fundraising in New Zealand. We have invited passionate experts from New Zealand and the U.S.A. who are eager to share their knowledge with you.
Who should
attend
This forum is aimed at fundraisers
for small to medium sized organisations with a <$2m turnover
and all charities operational in New Zealand. Anyone who is
involved in fundraising or wants to get involved in
fundraising. Keen fundraisers from sport clubs, to social
services, to health care providers to arts, to animal
welfare organisations to children's play groups,
anyone.
Our speakers include

Pat Shepherd is a photographer, graphic
designer and founder of NZ-based charity One Percent
Collective. He loves making things better through
creativity. He’s been doing that for years through his
work with SpinningTop on the Thai/Burma border with refugee
and migrant children and more recently through One Percent
Collective and the Generosity Journal they produce. Pat
will bring fresh thinking to the Forum.
With a passion
for helping people, Katherine Richards knew she wanted to
work in the non-profit sector but had no idea where.
Straight out of university she fell into a career in
fundraising, and in a few short years has quickly moved up
into managing the donor development programme at Save the
Children New Zealand. Her focus is on all things retention,
direct marketing appeals and telemarketing campaigns, with
the ultimate aim to engage donors with the important work
Save the Children does for vulnerable children around the
world and inspire them to give more.
