One of our areas of specialism is the charity and not-for-profit sector. We have a dedicated team, led by Keith Westran, to support these organisations as their accounting requirements are different to commercial companies. Their primary goal is to raise funds for their charity and I recently came across these top community fundraising tips offered by a selection of charity experts. There is some really great advice here, so if you know any charity fundraisers, please feel free to tag them below so they see this article. Equally, add your own fundraising tips in the comments. #Accountant #Charity #Advice

Do you think it’s possible for a small charity to raise $15 million in a regional area with a unique and limited fundraising market? And during a global pandemic?   The answer in a resounding “Yes”.   And Alesha Hope is going to share exactly how this result was achieved at next week's F&P Big4 Fundraising Conference (https://lnkd.in/giw5b84U ).     Alesha played a key role in helping Cranford Hospice (Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand) implement a $15 million major gifts campaign.   At Big4 Alesha will explain many of the key factors for success including:   • The importance of a feasibility study as a first step • Setting the target – arriving at a meaningful number and formulating a scale of giving that will help you reach it • The central role of fundraising champions and an effective campaign leadership structure • Ensuring your case for support works hard for your campaign • Peer influence – why the ask works best when it comes from someone the donor knows • When to introduce the community giving stage into a campaign • Being clear on your recognition framework • How techniques used in capital campaigns can be translated into annual operational fundraising channels of major gifts, corporate partnerships and trust and foundations • Why capital fundraising is actually simple, and you shouldn’t be scared of it!    The story of how Cranford Hospice raised $15 million is a template for many small organisations with aspirations to raise significant funds through major gifts.   This session will be full of lots of great practical take-aways. So if major gifts is your thing, don’t miss out on this presentation at the Big4 Fundraising Conference.   But hurry! Big4 is next week in Melbourne. There’s still a few tix left.
