Description
These forums will facilitate collaborative thinking among the industry leaders and are designed to generate discussion and insights on the challenges and opportunities in this sector. Each session will have a theme and a panel of guest speakers that will approach the subject from different vantage points. The forums will be a platform to stimulate, educate and drive collaboration, partnerships and foster business opportunities and growth.
Overview:
Following the great success of our first Charity Forum in partnership with VAD, we are delighted to invite you to join us for another session.
Fundraising and Income Generation was top of the list when we polled you to ask “what keeps you up at night”.
The opinion that fundraising isn't sole responsibility of the employee with the relevant job title is not a new one. However, in the midst of our pandemic driven "new normal", there's value in taking a look at what actions we should be taking in order to adapt, and thrive, in an environment that's both challenging and filled with potential.
Our guest speaker will broach the subject head on as she shares some of the do’s and don’ts followed by an interactive Q&A.
We will then move onto a spotlight on one of our charity members who are particularly good at generating income as they share their insights in how you can do the same.
The networking session (which was a highlight will be extended to 45 minutes to ensure you all get a chance to build on those connections and of course make new ones.
