Fundraising for Trustees and CEOs: 10-11 October 2011
This academy features Ken Burnett, Alan Clayton and special guest Giles Pegram CBE. It will answer such questions as:
• Mission. The time is right to transform the board’s approach to fundraising. So, how can we develop our capacity and possibilities?
• The fundraising paradox. Is fundraising just a means to an end, or is it central to our cause? And does it matter, if we want to make the most of our potential?
• Investment. How much should we invest in fundraising? How do we monitor results and maximise return? What should our policy be about risk? What should our policy be about failure? How do we ensure success?
• The fundraising ratio. What’s best? A high ratio, or a low one?
• Make or break. What three top criteria should we look for in our fundraising strategy? What three essential qualities should we look for in our head of fundraising?
• Governance. What 10 searching questions should we be asking of our head of fundraising?
• Risk. What should our fundraising mix be? How can we assess what will work,and what won’t?
• Vision. How can we make our board passionate about the transformational potential of fundraising?
