We are inundated with information every day – from TikToks to billboards, people are vying for our attention everywhere we go. This scrap for attention is starting to really impact corporate fundraisers: the average office worker receives 121 emails a day, meaning our approaches to companies are often getting ignored.

Ann Avarne moved from the world of private banking to the world of corporate fundraising in May 2023. In that time, she’s brought her understanding of what corporates need to the softness of how charities communicate. Working with Fireside Fundraising, she’s been able to find a ‘best of both worlds’ approach that has landed new partnerships, hit targets and she is now looking to grow her team.

In this session, Andy King from Fireside will share some of the frameworks that’ve underpinned this effective communication – Ann will then give live examples from DEBRA’s corporate partnerships programme. You’ll leave with a clear framework for improving your communication and a clear understanding of how/why DEBRA are nailing their corporate comms.

Join Eoghan Beecher, County Manager UK & Ireland of iRaiser, as he discusses growing your individual giving digital product portfolio.

Charities often produce an online donation page that suits all supporters, but asking engaged supporters to go through an entire first time donor process every time they wish to support can be impersonal, and create friction which leads to a poorer supporter experience.

Welcome to the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, today, we’ve got something a little bit different for you. 

To celebrate our upcoming Culture and Change Conference coming up on Thursday 20th November, we’ve decided to hand the mic over to our guest host Rory White in this special series of episodes called 'It Started On The Street'.

Rory will be chatting to some brilliant leaders in the charity sector and beyond about their journeys since they started their careers as dialogue fundraisers.

Not only does Murphy have one of the most memorable names you’ll hear, she also has one of the most interesting career stories — and an inspiring vision for the future.

She’s the founder of Stamp, a new organisation she launched just a few months ago. Stamp is pioneering a kind of B Corp model for influencers and social media creators — bringing accountability, ethics, and purpose into the online world.

Murphy herself has a rich and varied background, and I found her thoughtful, insightful, and genuinely inspiring to talk to.

I know you’ll enjoy this conversation as much as I did"

In this episode of the Fundraising Everywhere podcast, host Simon Scriver has a discussion with Cindy Wagman as shares her journey from traditional fundraising roles to embracing the flexibility and impact of fractional work.

Welcome to the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, today, we’ve got something a little bit different for you.

"Charlotte Forest began her fundraising career with Push, a well-known agency at the very start of face-to-face fundraising in the UK. After that, she moved to Gift, where she built a long and varied career — starting out as a fundraiser, then stepping up to team leader, and eventually managing multiple regions across the country.

This gave her an incredible breadth of experience before she transitioned into the charity sector when Gift closed. Today, she’s Director of Income Generation at a hospice in Swindon.

In our conversation, Charlotte shares how the resilience and skills she developed on the street shaped her career, and how those lessons continue to influence her work today. It’s a really insightful and enjoyable discussion — I think you’ll get a lot from it."
