Training

Through my workshops, inhouse training, mentoring and coaching I'd like to share with you what I believe are the three fundaments of what separates mediocre fundraisers from truly extraordinary fundraisers.

• That you understand the needs (not wants) of your beneficiaries;
• That you meet the needs of your donors; and
• That you remain focussed

What you want

• to be valued and appreciated for the hard work you do
• to make fundraising easier
• to raise more funds
• to have more time to do your job - which should be ONLY fundraising
• to have new ideas
• other people and colleagues to understand that your job is not always easy and you often encounter rejections

What I want

• your contribution to the NPO you work for IS important
• you must have confidence and knowledge
• the Board and Management must allow you to be bold and take risks
• you must be allowed to develop your own strategies and campaigns
• you to be well compensated for the hard work you do
• you have the:

courage to fundraise

           the knowledge to fundraise; and

                 a sense of urgency - the plight of those in need can no longer be ignored or postponed.

I am sure that together we can make a difference to the poor, the homeless, the abused and the frail.

As fundraisers, we have a duty to work towards the upliftmint of all South Africans in need. We also need to protect our environment, animals and promote the arts.
