In this Live Show, we heard from Fundraising Specialists Teisha Archer and Kimberly Downes, who bring a combined 50 years' experience in major gifts, capital campaigns and fundraising. As former Development Directors, they know exactly what it feels like for many fundraisers, CEOs and Boards right now, and able to share practical solutions and be a great strategic sounding board.

CASE STUDY

We also heard from our inspiring case study ...
Belinda Collins, Director of Development, Swinburne 

Belinda Collins shared why Swinburne decided not to shy away from their fundraising activities when COVID-19 hit, and why they have invested in these activities at a time when many organisations are cutting fundraising budgets. Belinda will talk about how she has rallied her team, the wider staff, executive and council to get behind a $2 million campaign focussed on supporting students, who otherwise might struggle to participate in higher education because of the pandemic. She will also share insights into donor and funder feedback on their efforts and reinforce that the greatest priority is connecting with and supporting donors through this period.
