10.45am: Networking/Morning tea provided.
11.15am Keynote: Jeff Brooks, Fundraisologist, Moceanic: The Donor’s Journey. Donors are heroes, and every donation they make is a hero's quest -- a self-actualising act of courage that transforms them. Based on the psychological truths described by Joseph Campbell in The Hero's Journey, we'll look at the steps every donor must take as they move from not caring ... to caring ... to giving ... to being transformed by giving. This is a true donor-centered approach that frees you to see through the donor's eyes and give them what they need. So they donate enthusiastically and repeatedly, rising to their highest level of support.
12.15pm: Case study: Katherine Richards, Donor Development Manager, Save the Children: A direct marketing appeal that beat the odds – how did we do this?
Katherine will take you through the ins and outs of what made one of her direct marketing appeals so successful. She will showcase what went well, what didn’t, and the learnings she gained from it.

- Michelle Berriman, Executive Director FINZ
- Jude Lyon, Telefund NZ
- Theresa Tagavaitau, Community Compliance Officer, IRD
2.30pm: Personal Development: Cath Vincent: How to pitch yourself well to diverse audiences.
Relationship building is a key skill in every fundraisers toolkit. Cath will explain the key attributes to being likable and professionally appealing so you can build donors, sponsors, volunteers and the confidence of your own team – and raise the effectiveness of your fundraising efforts. Cath Vincent, Wake Up Your Wow!
3.30pm: Finish.
The Fundraisers Forum Conference is worth 20 points/6 hours CPD. The Fundraisers Forum Conference & Masterclass with Jeff Brooks is worth 30 points/9 hours CPD.
Learning Outcomes/What to Expect
Fundraising is a competitive business and we know that success in this takes solid knowledge, great skills and a personal approach that builds trust and a desire to get behind your cause. The Fundraisers Forum is a powerful learning experience where you will hear case studies from respected practitioners (warts and all), be informed what works and why? And gain a competitive advantage over those other ‘for-purpose’ organisations chasing the same sponsor / donor dollar.
We guarantee that you will leave this Forum inspired, knowledgeable and with key skills that you can start applying the very next day!
If you need to raise (more) money for your organisation, build a supporter base or just want to win over your team – don’t miss this Forum.
